Yuck! What does he think you can do? Twiddle your thumbs? Hopefully, this will do the trick. As for the physical therapy, you will look back with fondness on Girl's Phys. Ed. classes and childbirth, by comparison!

Yes my friend i made it home and it is snowing hard now but got home just as it was starting.We are to get another foot in the next few days .
Thanks for caring Toogie.
So sorry to hear about your leg. I will pray ****
They took the cast off then bent my stiff arm backwards and says does this hurt??Daaaaaa*** very much:(:(He says i am to *****never mind,and if that don't work we will do cortisone shoots every 3 months then and only then will i let him cut it and fix it right:(L:(:(Thats takes a year of healing if i go that route.So i won't for now lol Hugs Carolyn

Sorry to hear you are still immoblized, but that's a step in the right direction now with the expectation of doing therapy. That's the best thing you can do for yourself - the physical therapy. Hope all goes well.

Even though you have to wait another month hope fully the physical therapy will do you some good. Helping to bend the knee is going to make it easier when the brace eventually comes off. Take it easy in the meantime, see lots of looking for new projects, and maybe some reading too. As we are all getting that bit older it takes time to mend, even though our patience is getting tried sometimes . Sandra.

Oh my , take it easy.

So sorry to hear about your knee and leg. I know exactly how you feel. I too had to wear the same brace for over a month due to a bad car accident where I lost my patella. I had to go to Rehab to learn to walk again. My only advice to you is to see that the straps are not too tight, because I developed a DVT and that was far worse than the injury and changed my life forever. I pray that you have a speedy recovery and give yourself time to heal. Love Lynette

You have certainly been through a lot. Take it easy Toogie, plenty of rest.

Hope you have a quick recivery!

Think of it as the next step to full recovery, it will hurt but just keep on thinking one day it won't. Also a trip on the good ship lollypop with Chris and Carolyn sounds like fun, do you think they have built a ship that will hold all cuties now that would be a dream trip.. Marian

Well, Toogie, if it helps you, then embrace it!! I wish for you a speedy recovery!

Healing prayers, my friend.

Glad you are home and safe...just look on the bright side...you are getting better...how long will it be before those straps are covered in embroidery!!!

Well, I say congrats on making a milestone. I know it is disheartening to be off your feet for yet another month, but look at the PT as ensuring you are going to get back on your feet soon. And it will be a safe more comfortable transition to weight bearing.

So sorry for your troubles. It is good to keep up the feisty sense of humor, beats crying. Prayers for you, Chris and Carolyn.

Toogie, I know you hate being in the wheelchair, Prayers continuing that the leg can heal and you will be able to learn whatever it is, that the Lord would have you learn though this trial you are going through, Pam

take heart Toogie it will go by quickly & you will soon be as good as new. ~hugs~

I have been there - done that. The brace was under my bed for years in case I needed it again. This to shall pass. Take heart.

I'm sure it was disappointing. Maybe if you look at it as one month of sitting still so you will be mobile the rest of your life it won't seem so bad. Hope you have lots of hand work, books, knitting etc. to keep you busy and the grands to visit and entertain yo.
