OFF Topic:
No surgery.
Postponed for a good 3 months for now. I was working my way up in hours of walking without das boots.....snapped the bone just above the 'plate' area. I was being extremely careful and KNOW I didn't bang it or drop anything on it. In the long run, I'm glad it was that and NOT a reaction to the plate/screws or an infection. so now I have a Christmas Green cast on for 6 weeks and then das boot for another 6 weeks and and and............ I'm going to have a friend 'draw' Christmas ornaments all over the thing....providing we can find a marker that will write/draw on it. Vinyl stickers don't work. Butterfly (thank goodness SIL is coming for the Holidays so she can do the shopping--she LOVES shopping! I know about on-line but I won't take the pleasure away from her) |

OFF Topic:
Sat thru yesterday was painful. I took Extra Strength Tylenol with the
'usual' pain meds. It did help keep it under control. The cast cut the pain level in half and today it's ok. Course I can't 'move it' and that is what was aggravating the whole thing. Back on the Scooter for 6 weeks...sure beats a wheelchair Pretty bad when the scooter ppl recognize you by name! Funny, never thought it was a break or fracture or I would have gone in sooner. Anyhow, I will pull out the afghan I was working on and finish 'sewing' the rows together. might get it done by the 25th...not saying which month. This has to be a record year for Not Quilting/Sewing. Butterfly (What if I draw what I "want for Christmas" on the cast--wonder if Santa would look at it that closely?) "Taria" wrote in message ...

That's what I asked my Surgeon Dr. I go back to the Fam Dr and then see
'where' he sends me next: tests? EVERY Bone Scan is normal. Maybe I just have futzy feetz? Maybe I'll need to go back to steel in the bottom of my shoes like before the Ortho insoles? maybe Both? I already take Calcium with Vit D as I can't have milk like normal for 20+ years....I do have a BIT of cheese and or ice cream now ,but never 2 days in a row and only at lunchtime (in case I react--I'd have time for an ER run--so far so good but I'm extremely careful).

You just gave me a wonderful idea! I need to 'sew' fur around the
top...maybe get some green felt to 'finish the toes? (For some reason he didn't take it to the 'ends' of the toes..he did the first go round) I asked her to write Merry Christmas 'both ways' so you can read it when I'm sitting with toes 'up' and when I'm using the scooter with my toes 'down' Butterfly (planning..so far a fine point tip marker works) "ME-Judy" wrote in message ...
