Just an Update for those who care :)

[Yoming 2]

I have not been able to do much the last 3 days...

.sorry bout your badges Sue..


I had 2 very badly infected teeth--swollen face and neck.  Had to have them pulled.  Now on the way to healing ( lots of oatmeal and bananas ) yuk.

My legs were so swollen from the accident they couldn't find any broken bones ( at that time )  However the right one was so badly hurt infection set in and it went from bad to worse.  Could not walk,  Used a walker as much as I could....just very painful......

Dr. ordered more x-rays this a.m and I have a fracture in that leg....so tomorrow I'm off to the Orthepedic surgeon to have a cast ( or something ) put on.  I am on high dosage of anti-biotics....but hopefully now the hurt will go away and things will be much better next week.   It's crap to be in this position....I really don't recommend it to anybody.

I will do badges, maybe just not as fast as before.

Maybe you'll get a Bledsoe cast (removable), Yoming.  I hope so... it's makes life better.    GET WELL FAST!

Wowser.. you really are sick. Get better soon.

[MsMissy]

OH wow, Yoming2,  I hope you get better soon, like Sue says . I can imagine the pain you are going though. 

[Stinkerbell]

Oh, you poor thing! Heal quickly!

Geez....teeth and bones! And infection is so scary and painful. Please be EXTRA careful. Trying not to scare you but when I was in a boot from having severed my achilles, klutz on a normal day ended up falling using the crutches and broke 3 bones in my foot. So BE EXTRA CAREFUL.

Thanks for the update cuz I was wondering where and how you were.

Thanks, thanks, thanks Squiddy! I've been trying to explain this type of cast to my own doctor.
Betcha it's one we have to buy here in Canada!

Regardless, now at least I have a name to put to it so he can properly look into it.
Next break, it'll be available and if I have to buy it, I will. Maybe I can even Google it...?
Lotsa folks, especially those with Fibromyalgia, are in dire need of this type of cast with a broken bone.

Perfecto !!!!       This is me for sure.   Thanx for the pics...it made my day just a wee bit better.....and I thank you.   

[MsMissy]

Well went to orthopedic surgeon Thursday ..........took 2 Dr.s to put their head together and tell me what I already knew....yes, it hurts....    

I have a hairline fracture in my right ankle bone....gonna take 3 months for it to heal..   Big concern is the infection in my leg.  And I got a boot to wear.  It's big enough for an elephants foot...very heavy and cumbersome,,,but it helps--I can now put it on and walk better with the walker.  And yes Squid it does open in the front....lots of velcro fasteners and a little air pump to inflate or deflate the pressure if needed. 

Again I am so weary of having to sit and not be able to do much of anything.  But this too will pass ( I'm hoping soon ).  So on with the big red pills,,,little white pills,,,, and lift the leg.   

Life can sure be crappy sometimes...........

I wore a boot for 18 months and can tell you it was way easier than the cast which needed wire coat hangers to get into for scratching (and just try to find a wire coat hanger now). Plus you can bathe easier than having to resort to wearing trash bags. This won't apply but it was in the late 90s/early 2000s when I was wearing mine and I had a 4½' CA King waterbed so I had to have a ramp installed to be able to get into it. I wrapped my leg while asleep and that velcro does not let go of anything and then tried to get out of the bed. My family found me upside down hanging from the boot and blankets. I am only 5' tall so I could touch the floor but could not find any way to escape. Thank God there were no cell phone cameras back then. 

And here is a photo of me back then .... AT Disneyland....it didn't slow me down at all because of that curve at the bottom of the boot is so good for building up speed while walking.....although I am much younger looking now.... and a lot thinner.... and taller!
