I may have broken my foot update...I can walk again!

[ramanth]

I am so sorry it is broken so severely.

Prayers for a quick and successful surgery.

Oh dear! What terrible news. As others have said, and I'm sure you are determined to do, just follow doctor's orders as closely as possible. It sounds like a difficult and serious break. I hope you heal up well.

Thanks everyone, I corrected my last note...I mean to say I am out for at least two MONTHS not two weeks....ugh

The doc gave me some strong vicodin, lifes's good hehe. Apparantly motrin is not good to take before surgery.

Oh OWWW...

Since you work for the state, hopefully you can get work that won't involve being on your feet a lot?

Prayers for a fast and better-than-expected recovery.

oh my gosh, poor you, that is just awful news to get, i really hope the surgery goes well and you can get back to some sort of normality as soon as possible, be thinking of you and wishing you a very speedy recovery and let that man of your's take really good care of you,and get well soon.

I'm sorry it's so bad. I hope your surgery goes well.

My new boss told me to take my time and get well and that I can telecommute if I want. I have known him for 25 years and he knows I'm not a flake luckily its someone I know.

I sit behind a desk so that part won't be bad although my office is a mile from the bathroom.

Thanks everyone you guys mean so much to me.

Oh NO! I'm sorry I've missed this thread.
I hope it's not too serious. I'll be thinking about you.

So sorry you have to go through this....My husband had surgery in March to clean up a bunch of stuff and put a couple of screws in the top of his foot....He couldn't put any weight on it for 6 weeks....He got a scooter called a Roll-about.....I saw several in the doctor's office. They have a website where you can rent one....you put your bad leg with the knee bent on the scooter and push it around with your good leg.....He got around really well, and he didn't have the pain of the crutches....just thought I would pass that on!

Sorry to hear it is such a bad break, glad you have your husband to play chauffer! I hope it heals faster than expected, and better, too!

My doctor just called to make sure I am staying off of it and he told me to rent one of those but he didn't know the name, thank you so much I will try to find one in town.
