Yeah, it could have been worse–you could have had that foot amputated to the mid shin!!!! Sorry, not a pleasant thought but that didn’t happen and that’s a real good thing. It sounds like you’re progressing and that’s another good thing. You won that curlie and that is a wonderfuln thing! So there are some wonderful things here versus a hard cast–which is temporary. Cabin fever sucks but I wouldn’t mind having a little bit of it myself but not with a broken ankle–I know, I know picky, picky, picky and I want to be paid as well! Now I’m dreaming! But will still send you bourbon–maybe if you drink enough you’ll just sleep through this whole thing!!! XD

So I can walk–gingerly–with the crutches taking half my weight, and I can stand on it. The doc said to use what he called the “green light/red light” approach. If I do something and it doesn’t hurt, green light! If it hurts, then red light. Duh :spank:
I’m in the standard short hard cast for 2 weeks, then I can move to a “removable” cast and have to wear that for a few weeks. *sigh*
Helllloooooo cabin fever! :bye:
Oh well….coulda been worse, right?Yuuuuuuurrrrggg!! I HATE hard casts 😡 This is what I do to mine…
lots and lots of glitter and beads and double sided sticky tape to make my own stickers. One year I had surgery the day after Christmas and my surgeon and the O.R. staff put me in a red cast and decorated it with snowflakes and snowmen *snerk* I just finally got bored with plain ol’ “plain jane” casts so bring on the ”bling” 😆

Love the cast, Beck! Man, you didn’t even get to be able to wiggle your toes; at least I can do that much. 😀 Mine’s blue. Hubby was trying to make me go for purple. Dunno if I’ll bother to decorate this one though. I’m just kinda trying to pretend it’s not really there. I can walk without the crutches (and without too much pain), although if the hubby finds out I’ve been trying that, he’ll probably have a flock of screaming canaries. *snerk* Overall, I’ve been *trying* to be good, really! Maybe I can just put on an eyepatch, grab a stuffed parrot, and yell “Arrgh, Mateys!” and he won’t notice. 😈
LFB, when I read your post about having the leg amputated, I *almost* wasted a mouthful of perfectly good bourbon. 😮 Talk about putting things into perspective! 😆
oh no! Girlie, I am so sorry to hear about your misfortunes 🙁 When it rains it pours *(sorry for the pun)*
Will bourbon chicken help? Or Ameretto cake? Its strong! 🙂Bourbon chicken? That sounds like a recipe I could use. Of course, if it means putting bourbon IN the chicken, I might have a hard time. 😀
I’ve had the amaretto cake before. Yum! :yum: I’m game for any kind of food that I can manage to get to my chair without spilling/dropping. I’m beginning to resemble a Labrador Retriever at this point, since I carry things in my teeth while moving on the crutches. 😳 Sports bottles are a wonderful invention; too bad I only have 1 of them that I could find. I know I have more of them, but I don’t remember where I put them….*sigh*
