thanks everyone....and thank you september .......I'm doing pretty darn good considering....my foot and ankle are still really swollen......and yes Preds, I staying off it *said with fingers crossed* .....go back in another week to find out IF they have to do surgery, but honestly I think I dodged that one......bruises are now starting to go from that purple/black to that gross yellow and purple.........I have never in my life seen a sole of a foot bruised.......no kidding, my whole foot starting about four inches above my ankle, including the sole of my foot was purple/black with the exception of the very end of my toes and big toe......I've managed the one crutch walk.......trust me, this takes some getting used to and it does NOT make sense to have the crutch on the good side....but it works, it really does, not to mention with one crutch you're not falling all the time which is a huge plus, thank you september for that advise, it helped me keep my sanity.......it doesn't hurt like it did, so it's getting better.

The only disheartening thing is...........when you get an injury, you hear the stories of people who have had the same type injury......and in this case, I keep hearing how long it takes to get back to "normal"........some people have said like a year......then you hear how cold weather bothered their ankle......I do not like being slowed down........I don't have the time to be slowed down.......I do NOT want to be slowed down.......that's the ONLY part of this whole deal that really twists my feathers....................................raven

I hear ya, I broke my right foot a few years ago and the doctor thought it would be 6 weeks and I would be back on my foot. It took 12 weeks and bothered me for about 4 months. Remember right now is the time to listen so you heal correctly...do as the doc says.

see........that's what I mean........anyone that has had a similar injury never says.....hey after 6 weeks I was fine........so I'm not liken this too much lol........I'm determined, I'm going to be over all of this is six weeks.......that's all the time I can give this foolishness..........too much to do...................................raven

Raven ....I'm so sorry to hear about your ankle. I used to live in a house where we had gopher holes and it's a wonder I didn't fall too. Last year you recommended a CD by Michael Grimm. I bought it and DH keeps it in his car CD player all the time. He loves it! I hope you get better soon and don't need surgery. Take care.

OHHHHHHHHH LOVE Michael Grimm............glad your hubs likes his music too......he's a bad boy but also a great talent..................raven

this is really NOT the time for me to take a break...or have a brake for that matter lol.....I have a huge project going and I get a call at 6 am from the clients warehouse manager there is a 53' trailer full of cabinets and who is going to off load them.........so I'm on the phone getting that taken care of then out there to make sure it gets done........find out from the truck driver, even though my schedule says ship date today, since these aren't going to the hub......it's only a 6 hour delivery and not a 24-48 hour delay in the delivery...........I have four more phases yet to come, so now I know to have my guys there on the ship date.......but not the way you want to find out these things..............................raven
