I just walked over to Alan and told him what you guys said about the rubber tip thing on the heel.

Alan says to me "Oh, there's a rubber thing here". I said 'there is?? really?? and he says "yeah feel it". I went over to the bottom of his cast and it was hard as a rock.

I said "what are you talking about, there's no rubber thing on your heel". So don't put any weight on it".

He said "I remember the doctor and the nurse saying that if I had to, I could put a bit of pressure, but not too much". Now I remember that too because I was there when the nurse said that.

But be that as it may, unless it's absolutely necessary, he's staying in the wheelchair and on the couch.

Thanks much for all the good information.
