8/30/10 day Four

To the doctor today to get a cast. I chose blue but could have had camo, stripes and stars, fluorescent orange, etc. Bad news -no weight on leg for 5 weeks and then x-ray to see where we go from there. Good news was that it could have been a lot worse. He was impressed I walked two miles on it and said that was a good sign re: other damage.



Kelley is starting to be less spooked by the crutches and a neighbor she likes has been taking her on short walks in the morning. When she sees him coming up the drive she gets very happy. It's been very hot ( 90's) so not good hiking weather anyway I tell myself. Mary will take her to the nursing home Thursday and Friday so that will give her a break from lying around the house with me.

    Groan. That hurts just to look at it.

    Surprisingly, there has been little pain--once I stopped walking on it.
