I Got the Cast Off!

Yeah...the cast is off...at least the hard cast is! I do have to be in a soft cast for 2 more weeks...but no more crutches. Keeping my fingers crossed that it works. I am happy that I will be able to walk around NYC to see the play and I will be able to go to Fl to see my sis next Wed. I can't do everything yet and I am supposed to "not overdo", but it is an improvement. I actually washed and soaked my foot and shaved my leg while waiting for the xrays. It felt like heaven to be able to do it since I can't get my foot wet with the soft cast on.


I am in a great mood...the sun is shining and I can go out with out help and drive again. I will wait until tomorrow though...my trip to the doc was enough today and my leg is weak. I can't believe all the muscle tone I lost in it. But...that is what I will work on today with walking around the house and doing some light cleaning.


Hope you are all having a good day and meeting your challenges head on. So far so good for me with staying away from the "junk" food.

Yay, Grace! Just in time for spring, too. Pretty soon you'll be back leading those aerobic classes. Your muscle tone should come back quickly.

It'll be nice for you to enjoy the city and your visit to MD without having to lumber around on crutches. Take it easy!

Congratulations! "Light cleaning"!!!! I don't like the sound of that, Grace! DO take it easy and do what your doc says. I still think the other folks in your family can do the the light and heavy cleaning - maybe I should call your doctor and tell him that. LOL!

I know your leg and foot must feel much better already!

Yea for you and your foot!! You deserve a break after all you've been through. So happy to hear you're having a good day and will be able to go through with all your plans. I had a cookie to celebrate for you! ;-)

Hoorah for you! And what a difference it has made in your outlook, too - I can tell! Enjoy your newfound freedom again, but follow the advice not to overdo. Yippee!
