Aboot the foot

[christopher575]

No picture this morning because I didn't want to hold Garrett up too much on his way out the door. I need to take a shower while he's still here in case I fall, Life Alert style. The bruises are even bigger, but there's less pain when I stand up without the boot.

Ah, the boot. It hurts to stand up, but it's not my foot that hurts, it's my lower back. I have issues anyway, and standing with one foot higher than the other becomes uncomfortable surprisingly quickly.

Sitting down also gets old, because there are only a couple of positions I can sit in. Mainly, I really miss being able to cross that leg. I can put my left leg on my right, but not my right on my left.

I try to be interesting and post a lot. I have a feeling that'll be tough for a while.

How long to you have to keep the boot?

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

4-6 weeks. Cracked bones can take a while to heal.

People should be more careful.

Being careful doesn't really have anything to do with it as far as I can tell. I stepped off the bus like normal and my ankle just collapsed. I take over 1,000 bus rides a year, obviously I have to be careful every time.

I know, I just wanted to say that.

I have been paying special attention to where I'm putting my feet when I walk around the Hill, thanks to you.

Ouchies!

PS Arnica really does reduce swelling and makes the bruise feel better.

Do you want us to bring you some crack chips this weekend?

Are you going to be in the neighborhood?

[scarletharlot52.livejournal.com]

No, but we could make a special trip!

We were thinking maybe grab lunch or dinner somewhere close?
