You put your right foot in....
The Dr.'s visit today went very well. I have a cast boot (actually a sort of rubber-sandal type thing) and now I can put weight on my broken leg. According to the X-ray's, the pin and the plate are still firmly fixed where they are supposed to be, so now it's time to try walking on it. I'm just grateful that I can stand up with both feet on the ground now! Though I was getting pretty good with the whole 'stand like a flamingo' thing. I go back to see him in three weeks and I think the plan is to take the cast off and put me in a fracture boot and then, at some slightly later date, to start physical therapy. But it's getting better and I'm grateful!
