The Boot

I'm absolutely fed up already with this darn boot cast. I hate it and I wish I knew if wearing this thing for the next 4 weeks was even going to do anything worthwhile! I mean a 50% chance of having surgery anyhow doesn't seem like very good odds to me...but I'm not really a betting person. I'm sure my readers (all 3 of you :) are wondering why in the world I'm in a boot cast in the first place...well here is a short version of the story...On 5/10/10 I tripped leaving work and apparently chipped a bone in my ankle in the process and of course this piece of bone has a tendon attached to it. If wearing this boot for the next 4 weeks doesn't heal the chipped bone then I will have to have surgery to remove the chipped piece of bone and attach the tendon to the bone that is left...this will leave me on the couch with very minimal movement for 6 weeks...Here is a picture of the cast :(
