Well, this cast was taken off on Thursday, Dec 1, 2011. Thank heavens. When it came off it was such a relief and then I was dismayed at how much tone I had lost in my right calf, and I feel my foot looks terrible. Maybe it is just me.

You can see where the doctor injected my ankle with Marcaine over 2 weeks ago. And my little toe has been so crimped into the cast that it isn't moving. My toes are sort of shriveled looking to me also. But that's just me being critical.

Now my fibula is still healing, so they have given me a walking boot to give my leg support while it continues to heal. And I still can't drive since my foot is too weak. Honestly I can't see trying to do anything much as it still hurts to put any weight on it. But they insist I need to, and from how thin my calf looks I agree. I mean honestly, look at this boot, I feel like I have a frankenstein's Monster boot on. LOL

All in all, another 4 weeks before I get to drive, and I start physical therapy on the 6th. Thank heavens they are just 2 blocks up the road from home, so driving me won't put Richard out too much. It's so close he can go home for an hour and come back for me.

Check out how beautiful the ramp is coming along! Richard has really outdone himself. The hand rails are going up and as you can see, he is using plenty of Brackets to ensure it is very safe. I am so tickled with what he has done for me here.

 So that is todays update.  I'll let you know how the physical therapy goes. I'm such a wimp I am sort of dreading it. We will see how it goes.
