Thank you for the suggestion.

Problem is its a very inactive room. And the questions there aren't being answered right now. But I plan to go back and do some research.

I believe the stickies are at least 4 or more years old. Not sure if they will help.

Thanks Ladies

So far the bathroom scale is down at my house. My husband was beat
last night when he dropped me off. I did work on getting up a little
today. But I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. So I'm going to request
he bring my scales.

Next question do I weight the boot separately. Or just let that be in the
weight also?

Ugh, I'm not comfortable but I will get there with this stuff.

Donna:hug::grouphug:

Donna,

It does sound very uncomfortable. I'm sorry this happened to you. :hug::hug: It will get better as you heal. And rest as much as you need. Rest helps heal.

Weigh with the boot on -- it "counts".

The weight limit is how much weight-bearing the leg is allowed to do. The orthotic boot is going to be supported by your leg ...unless it comes equipped with anti-gravity rockets? :D

Anything that adds to the weight borne by your leg "counts"... doesn't matter if it is a part of your own body or not.

Thanks Waves.

Its a Boscoe Boot, so I can double check about the rocks is it.

Sorry I'm off on names of things. My biggest thing right now is.
My boss of 13 years is retiring the end of June. Don't know who
will be taking over. But the director will have my back.
I want so bad to go to her surprise retirement party.
I am going to ask my friend, or another friend to take me.
And pay for us a room one or two nights. Its a long trip.



The other issues are family related. Even though originally
the new provider company was fantastic. We hit some waves
the last couple of weeks. Hopefully to be straightened out
next week. But Derrick wont tell me, and at least he has my
friend to talk to about it. He will make a call to higher ups if
necessary.

Next This is fantastic news in one way. And another I feel guilty.
My son Devin got a job, paying 11 dollars a hour. He worked
one week of days learning a fork lift. Must have done great, because
it was supposed to be two weeks. Then on Monday night he went
in for the 3rd shift. But he has a slight problem were to leave Will.
He thought his roommate would do it. But she isn't being responsible.
So my responsible son, asked Will's mom to keep him at night.
And he picks him up and takes to school. I believe its going to work
out Will is spending at least June with his mom.

I am hoping I can help take over in July, with Derrick's help. Because
he needs to go to speech.

Donna,

Sorry. I appear to have confused you.

I was making a very, very silly joke with the rockets comment. It doesn't matter what kind of boot it is -- if you are going to be wearing it, its weight counts. ;)

Donna, :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

Maybe in a month you will be stronger and you can go to the retirement.
Stay flexible.

I hope that Derrick and the friend can get things worked out for you.

Will has a good place to sleep at night and that is good.
His speech therapy can wait a month.
He will be o.k. while you recover and while.
I wish Devin good luck on his new job.

I am going to work on going to the retirement party.

Also got permission to take as many of my volunteers as
would like to go. I only have a few I'd ask. So checking
to see if one of the hotels has suites. So it would maybe
accommodate up to 4 or 5 of my volunteers.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

I hope you get to go to the party, Donna. :)

waves

We are definitely going.

I need to reserve a room for two nights.

I don't mind the bills its something really important to me.

And I'm looking forward to not being stuck in a room with 4
walls.
