I have been using the crutches and (foot) air cast for the past two weeks. Yuck, maybe even double yuck!!!! At any rate, I saw the doctor yesterday for a repeat x-ray to see how much healing has taken place.
Bad News - Good News. The good news is the best - no more crutches!!! I cannot express how free that makes me feel. It is still somewhat of a trial to walk with this larger than life foot, but oh how free I feel - NO more crutches. Guess maybe you get the idea I really didn't like the crutches.
Now for the bad news. The fracture is the same as it was two weeks ago. My doctor says this type of fracture takes a looong time to heal. He wouldn't give me any guesses as to how looong. But I am content to wait for that healing, because now I am walking on two feet again.
I am Thanking the Lord this morning for the fact that I am free of half of my assistive devices!

Yeah! I am happy that you don't have to use the crutches anymore..they don't even LOOK fun!(You were a good sport to get out and about with them!) Hopefully your foot will continue to heal! Hope that you enjoy this beautiful day! Hang in there!
That is good/bad news. Will you have to have physical therapy after the healing? It doesn't look like I will see you this evening. David has several meetings :-( Be good and take it easy while you have a good reason.
That's great news, but be sure to take it easy still. I'd hate to see you re-injure your foot and have to go back to crutches!
