Hi Char,

Sorry about your foot mishap! That happens to me sometimes too. And I know about the steroids weakening the bones.

Once after my second massive steroid treatment, I fell and broke my left foot. I didn't realize I'd broken it though so I went back to work. I worked all afternoon limping around in misery. My foot swelled and turned black and blue by closing so I went to the local urgent care.

I didn't get to see a bone doctor until a few days later and it was too late to do anything for it so I had to walk on the darn thing for several months that way. Anyway, it was just a hairline fracture but it hurt like heck for a couple of weeks and took about six months to heal, and about two years to feel almost normal again.

Please baby it when you can but have fun too. I'm also jealous, I'd love to be in the Northwoods of Maine with you all this weekend!
