UPDATE: I have been to see the specialist this morning. He recommends physical therapy & I now have an air cast on my ankle as well as the full leg brace. He thinks I will have to wear these for at least 3-5 weeks. Apparently when the nurse put my brace on my leg on Friday she did not put it on the right way? There is a groove in this thing that should line up with your knee & she had it about 5 inches below. It is fortunate that I remained with my leg laying flat for most of the weekend otherwise I could have damaged it more. he said he would be speaking to them about this. I didn't know since I have never had one but I am glad I was careful. I couldn't understand why I was able to bend my knee over the weekend & how wearing this would make it any better & now that he has put it on correctly I can how it will heal much better because now I can not bend my knee at all! Much less pain this way for sure! Thank you all for keeping me in your prayers. After coming home from hospital this morning I headed straight for the dentist's office & he was able to repair the portion of my tooth that broke off on Friday so I am put back together lol for now anyway.
