Oh, I hear ya, MSacorn! I just got my aircast back on today.

Goodbye 25 lb. cast that I couldn't get wet!!! Stitches came out (after a few hard tugs).

It's been nearly 4 weeks since I broke my ankle. Happy to have the aircast back on (wore it before surgery) so I can sleep w/o it. Don't have to put my leg in a plastic garbage bag and use electrical tape before I get in the shower.

Now I can "toe-touch" when I crutch my way through the house. Can't bear weight for another 4 weeks, though.

Until you mentioned it, I hadn't considered the possibility of physical therapy. Ugh. This is such a drag.

Oh, I almost forgot: go buy a pair of sandals that are about an inch or so in sole thickness to equal the thickness of your aircast. That is what I was told to do and I found it really helps.

Good luck to you!
