Some people say you can feel it, and other say you can't.  Well, I can.  I felt a screw.....  :O

When I first broke my ankle, I read everything that I could on how to help the bones 'knit' together faster.  I am staying away from sugar, alcohol, anything with caffeine , keep my leg up as much as humanly possible.  I take calcium, along with vitamin D and a mulit-vitamin.  I've done everything that I was to do, but, I still don't feel it's been ( Read more... )

I'm freezing.  I thought we were in global warming, however, I think someone forgot to tell Mother Nature.  It's been a horrible, freezing, yukky spring in Manitoba.  On top of the retarded weather, today was one of the worst days at work, I think every crazy person called the store.  Man, I hope the weather and the customers improve.... By the way ( Read more... )

I had a bath!!! A real, real bath!  Not the sitting on the bath chair, pouring water over me - but a nice hot soak.   Since my ankle break, my whole way of life has been turned upside down now I feel somewhat 'normal'.   My old lady bath chair is gone!  I have gone to my first session of rehab.  (not the Amy Winehouse rehab) she gave me a whole lot ( Read more... )

Had my Doctor's appointment yesterday and I'm not impressed.... Another 4 weeks with no weight on my ankle.  FUCK!!!!  There is a callous starting on the breaks, but not enough for me to be able to apply weight.   I asked him where this rumor of 6 to 8 weeks to heal an ankle came from.  His explanation to me was that my break was bad, I did a lot ( Read more... )

My lower leg is foreign to me....I've named my foot Walter.  It looks like a giant wax foot.  Yuk!

Since breaking my ankle, I've turned into an old lady.  Today it's raining, we need the rain.  I'm not leaving the house because I'm scared to slip on the wet steps!  Just like my Grandma!!

I have the count down on to see my surgeon.  My appointment is Thursday, which makes it six more sleeps.  I'm pretty pathetic when I'm begin acting like a child waiting for Christmas.  I'm so hoping that he's going to tell me that there is bone growth and I can put weight on my ankle again.  It actually 'feels' not too bad.  I'm back at work and ( Read more... )

I don't like having a broken ankle.  Not at all!

Because I have nothing else to do all day I find myself watching a lot of TV.  Although, I don't live in the US, I think the Texas government would save themselves a lot of money if they sent all those cult people to the Maury Show.  What "He's you Daddy" show that would be.  :)
