OT/OT: Update/Das Boot

Feb 01, 2011 5 Replies

for me once again...for MONTHS this time. The healing is going well-it IS healing YAY! So the cast, since Dec 23, is OFF as of today and the boot is on 24/7.except when showering. Yes, I even have to wear it to bed for the next month... then go back for another set of x-rays---working up to bearing ½ body weight-but NO walking on it...then the month of Mar I'll work my weight up to full..and see where I'm at then. I still will be using the scooter for the next month. I knew ahead of time it would be a longer process so I'm not disappointed.


On the other hand.DD is quite so. She is still NON weight bearing on her R heel that was shattered. Itsa healing nicely but not as fast as she'd like...... So, no 3 legged race for us even for the 4th of July this year....


Her hand is healing very well and she can lift somewhat with the use of the hand/wrist brace. The Occupational Therapist is pleased. We did get her home with us..


Weather has been gorgeous with close to 70 all last week-but that'll change by tomorrow night when it hits 30°.


SIL took the 4 baby quilts with her and she'll finish them for me...not sure when I'll be able to sew again. Took Phoebe in for a good cleaning......it'll be 3 weeks before they can even get to her!

Glad to read the updates, and know things are going in a healing way. Our bodies never seem to progress as quickly as we would like....

Perhaps playing with fabric, rootling thru stash, planning projects will help you until you can sew again?

Slow and steady wins the race, and all those other platitudes... In this case very true. Glad it's working.

Heels can be tricky. It was a delaminated Achillies tendon that ruined my cousin's army career.

Good news! Well done DD.

Oh, go away! ;)

Fingers crossed. Could you sit with your feet up and wind a hand crank?

Good to have a report from you, Butterfly! Seems like things are settling down (finally).

Glad to hear you both are on the mend. Good excuse to quilt while you can't walk! By July 2012, you both will be doing the three legged race and leaving everyone in your dust!
