Prayers for Staci ~ *Screw's OUT* on 10/30/07 ~ Let the HEALING Begin!

[Cinder & Smoke]

A 'Crutchin' she will go ...

I'm pretty sure Today (Saturday, October 6th) is the Day of the Wedding
(NOT Staci's - a Friend's wedding).

And I think Our Patient is gong to be her own Taxi Driver, and Crutcher.

Wish her luck in finding a close-to-the-door parking space;
as well as NO Killer Steps 'tween the car and her seat!

Happie Crutchin, and have **Phunn**!

Whew, finally catching up on the adventures of your foot, Staci... Be careful at the wedding today - and no "Chicken Dance" at the reception for you -- have a great time!

(Dont know if you guys do the Chicken Dance but I'm told it's a tradition at a lot of weddings)

yupper - well it was my uncle's (mom's brother) wedding, and I was just a spectator.
I had a chauffer. (DAD - who was an usher)

I'm able to drive, with my crutches in the front seat. I'm still hobbling along. Very little to no pain. Unless I come down on it which I did in the bathroom last nite (at the reception) b/c the floor was all wet.
Pat - there was no dancing. My uncle isn't into that stuff. It was his second wedding and the bride's first. They just had a cd player playing in the background for noise.
I see the Dr on Tuesday so I'll let ya know what I find out!

Ask Doc if he has a splint with a Rain Tread on the bottom!

Well ...

It's Doctor Day ... have we been there yet?

How'd ya make out?

New X-Ray *snappie* taken? ... How's the "mending" coming along?

Did'ja get any new Stuff?? ... Splints, Guards, Wraps, Sox, Boots, non-skid Crutches,
maybe a Motorized Walker? Or a Skegway / Segway / / Two-Wheeled Power Scooter -
You'd be the Terror of Wally'sMart!

Most (or at least some) Kidding aside - we hope your Footsie *IS* getting Better!!

stitches out -
re-wrapped with same splint.
I may make an appt with him on Friday to have a different splint/cast type thing. He wants me to be able to flex my ankle more now that the tendon is on its way to healing.
no xrays
now he's saying 5 weeks (total) non-weight bearing... *sigh*
so that means 3 more weeks instead of 2
date to return to work 11-6-07....
