With so much swelling after the accident, I had to wait for home to see my local ortho doctor for the real stuff.

It looks okay but it really isn’t.

I get the bad news that the cast has to immobilize the joint above the break (the knee) and below (the ankle).

Bill gives me a bunch of color choices.  I settle on purple which should match my new plum purse and is this season’s color.  He starts wrapping up the leg.

 

Here I am with Bill showing off my latest accessory.

Wish me luck as next Wednesday, I find out if I need surgery.  If the bone hasn’t shifted, then I will be in this gigantic cast for 4 – 6 weeks, a shorter one for another 4 – 6 weeks, and finally a walking boot for the last 4 – 6 weeks.  Another four months in a cast without walking seems amazingly long right now.  As always, I just have to take it one day at a time.  For now, the Antirider is really anti riding – just kidding!  Y’all know I’ll be back!

  1. Wishing you a speedy and painless recovery!
    For your next cast your should discuss the possibility of getting it green/white/red with a GIVI logo inlayed.

  2. Hope your feeling better!

  5. Hello, I just see your blog. I hope you have no pain with your broken leg. I am surprised to see you are so amazing with this accident and being so positive when you are disabled for some weeks. You are a great strong woman.
    Cheers, Alain
