Hi Chris, nice to see you up and about..:)

~HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, You Two!!

Nice picture.:)

I spent about 1/2 an hour yesterday, trying to cut through the cast on my foot. It was so tight the top of my foot felt like it was bursting at the seams.

I had some deep marks from all the wrapping. Good golly. It was nice to see it again and after a good cleaning and some fresh air looks the same. A bit of swelling around the front and the ankle bone on the sides.

I went out to lunch and did some shopping today. After several hours I had to get home and rest it. I still get shin splint type pain which increases with walking. I guess it's all connected. I even too a whole pain pill before I went out. I'm so glad I did.

I was reviewing pics on my digital camera from days 5, 8 and 14. Boy was it looking bad. I'm going to show them to my doc at our next appointment. I'm sure all the bruising will give her some good info. Don't know why I didn't think about it before now.

Chris and Hubby

Happy Happy Anniversary and many More !

:hug:

Casts are a Pain in the Butt aren't they...I remember when I had one on my leg and I couldn't wait to get it off! I was continually trying to figure out how to scratch my leg inside it...came up with all sorts of ideas...and my toes were bruised too.

Then when I broke my ankle about 4 years ago, that air cast was so wonderful. I loved it. It was so much better than that plaster thing I had years ago.

I hope you have a good appt with the doc next time and get to take it off!
:hug:

I had my ankle MRI'd yesterday. Today the doctors office called and said I have an ankle sprain. :eek: No kidding! :rolleyes: It is day 68.

I'm supposed to use an ace wrap, if I want, and continue normal activities. If something hurts stop. I can stop using walking cast only if there is no pain, put it back on when it hurts. And no PT or physical activity.

If not improved in 2-4 weeks return. I am giving it 2 weeks and going back. The thing is still bruised and swollen. :mad: What else can I do?!

:hug:
