[Blind-rollers] out of the cast and off the crutches

[Becky Frankeberger]

Good news, Bibi, for me keeping it wrapped during the day with an ace
bandage and taking some sort of mild aspiritn helped ease back even more the
discomfort. A tip is to stand up and ease the weight into the leg. It will
hurt a lot less if you just stop, after you stand, and let the leg take the
weight slowly. Then walk. 

Keep the leg elevated when sitting at your computer or watching TV. In the
evening you might want to put some frozen peas on the ankle, if you are
experiencing extra discomfort. This won't last to long a week or two  is
all. The bone is still healin so it is going to be annoyed. After that two
weeks if you do a lot of walking then you will need the ice or peas in the
evening. It might even swell a bit, so keeping it up will prevent much of
the swelling.

Hi, all,
As the subject line says it, I'm back to walking on both feet.
Let's hope it's not another repeat again as I found all of that to be
annoying.
Odie is glad to see me back on bwo legs: although it doesn't matter to him
since he can move on four.
My left foot is still sore, but it will take some time to continue to heal.
Bibi and MAR son Odie
