I hope I find some green blooming things soon! I have never really been drawn to those, but I am starting to be! I think I need a huge, glorious green bulldog next!!!

O! You are INJURED!  But, ask yr orthopedist, should you not, at some point way before August be ambulatory, say, with crutches???
Did you need an open reduction?
Anyhow, "Where there's a will......"...U know the rest of that aphorism! |

And there will ve a way, believe me  i had surgery on May 21. I fractured 3 bones. I will get the CAM boot on Monday but absolutely no weight bearing for 3.months or untill the doc advises. I was considering crutches, will see some on Monday and decide. |

Sigh.....so, yes, you did need an open reduction. So sorry you sustained this fracture!!!
My take is when they say no weight bearing....they mean directly on that foot....well, until the the margins between the reduced (and perhaps secured by pins/screws) fractures grow enough callus to make that safe, of course....which should not be that long from now; yr orthopedist will discern this from the X rays.
Re "there will be a way," I TOTALLY BELIEVE YOU!!!!

Well, yr orthopedist must be yr source of DETAILED advice here! But it's hard for me to believe he or she did not discuss the need to be ambulatory as soon as is viable and safe, with you early on WITH SPECIFIC SUGGESTIONS AND TIME TABLES...maybe even including some PT if necessary.
Not sure if this physician deserves orchids. But YOU....deserve info! Jus sayin.  |

Well you know, actually, he has been sort of sketchy with things. For example he was supposed to have given me an order for x rays to take to him at my appt last Thursday, and he had forgotten! So now I have to wait an entire month to see him again with the x rays and then he will supposedly order the PT! But we have such a shortage of orthopedists here that causes a work overload on them
He did tell me to stretch the foot forward and back. and the boot for immobilization that I can remove to bathe. I dunno... |
