Monday's a big day. The doctor will be removing my cast, & I go into an immobilization boot for 2-4 weeks. I'll still be non-weight-bearing for that time, and using a walker.
However, the good news is that the boot is removable for showers. I'll also be required to remove it several times a day & do range-of-motion exercises to get the ankle ready for when I can start trying to walk on it again. At that point, it'll take me about a month to six weeks to get back to walking normally. Whew!
It's amazing how much you learn about the hassles that go with a condition like this. Some people are pretty considerate, a few are totally rude and obnoxious. It's also a major workout using either crutches or a walker. I think I've lost 30lbs doing this.
Sayonara,
Dan
