And the boot stands alone...


It's been six weeks and I FINALLY got the go ahead from my ortho specialist to take off the boot that's been my constant companion 24/7 for those six weeks. I still can't make myself go down the stairs in my home where I fell but one day soon I will! It's amazing how one mis-step can totally change your life. I know my daily life has changed when my printer is flashing this message at me - "the ink is nearing its expiration date" - I've NEVER seen that message before (and probably never will again) - I think I'll print something...

So, now I'm limping around without the help of my crutches and feel every muscle in my leg that hasn't been used in six weeks.

and, no more crutches!!! I just received the bill for those (after insurance $87)...a friend suggested I put them up on Craigslist and try to sell them. I'm seeing them out in my garden as a plant support AND that darned boot is going to be planted with, I think, strawberries and go out on my deck...

Here's to a speedy recovery - thanks for all the well wishes.
