OT: Prayers for Piggies Request

Wishing the best for you.

I'm sorry it's been such a tough week, and you've got my prayers that the news tomorrow is good and that healing is quick.

OMG! I'm so very, very sorry. I wish I could help. I know what this all means to you. Been there, done that....but I had lots of help. All fingers crossed and good wishes being sent that you can get around on two feet. Hopping on one leg tends to screw THAT one up! I know.

Giant Piggy prayers and healing energies on their way Mz Piggy!!!!

Oh, my!!! Prayers on the way for quick healing! A broken foot is no fun, been there, done that!

Ouch! Would that pigs could fly NOW! But thoughts and prayers can, and they're on their way from Indiana. Did the ER not give you crutches in the meantime? They're tricky to use, but hopping is downright dangerous...and confuses the Easter bunnies.

I hope you "walk away" from your doctor's appt tomorrow -- and your healing time is short!

Take care of yourself! Prayers that everything comes out the way you wish!!

Oh, Piglet, I'm crossing every imaginable appendage in hopes that things will turn out as you hope!

(((((piglet))))) Prayers and positive healing thoughts are on their way! ME-Judy

I hope you let the docs know your situation so that they can give you the walking cast if at all possible. I remember having to switch cars with my daughter when she fractured an ankle and couldn't use her stick shift. My car was automatic transmission and we switched cars for six weeks! (I had to re-learn how to drive a stick shift!)

It's VERY hard when you're on your own. My nearest family is an hour and 20 minutes away so I know how it feels to have to manage for yourself no matter what.

Oh my yes, lots and lots of prayers coming your way!

So sorry to hear this. If it can't be a walking cast, is there a medical rental any where near you? When I had major foot surgery I rented a "scooter" that I placed the surgical knee on, and pushed it with my good foot. I don't have strength enough in either leg to use crutches. It's like a one-legged walker. Works great. As for the car, if you can't clutch, you may have to rent a car for the duration. There's always ways to cope. Another thing that really helped was to get a toilet seat that is much higher--- easier than just the regular one. Gen

Prayers definitely going out. Be sure to tell casting and the orthopedic surgeon exactly what you told us.

You're right, Megan. That does sound like a rotten week. I do hope you are able to get the cast you hope for. Perhaps you could borrow an automatic car 'for the duration'? All the best for tomorrow. . In message , Megan Zurawicz writes

I have a walker, but it's still a hopping thing because I can't use that foot *at all* currently.....

Amen on the higher toilet seat! I didn't do that......and several times called for help getting up later in the day after I was tired. ok...way too much information......
