Cast is off at long last

Well after 6 long weeks, I finally got my leg /foot cast off yesterday.Saw the specialist and then went and got it off, then had to have another X-ray done to see how it was going.He actually met me in the corridor coming back from X-ray, and when he held it up, I saw a crack still there, and started to feel down again, as I thought I would have to get another cast on.He told me to go back to the waiting room until he called me.When I sat down with him again, he said I won't need a cast on again, but I have to keep using one crutch, and take it very carefully getting around.Because of the place I did it, he said it takes a long time to heal.So could be another 6-8 weeks before I can go dancing/running/exercising etc......I am just so very relieved to have it off.Such a weight lifted off not only my leg, but my mind as well.I felt like it was dragging me down.

Very strange feeling when you go to walk on it again after such a long time.All the muscles , that you don't realise you use, were all weak and tender.My heel felt numb, and shot like lightning bolts up my leg each time I walked.My calf muscles were spasming...Hope to never have to go through that experience again.

Ahhhh that feels better....LOL I actually had a student write on it the other day...only one .He wrote" YOU ARE THE BEST", that meant a lot coming from this boy as he is a bit of a rebel.

Well, I don't know whether you really want to see this, but Jaki and Jewls asked to see it.....MY HAIRY YAK LEG......It took a lot to shave this all off I can tell you

Oh , and I just drove my car for the first time in six weeks......HOW FANTASTIC and independent I felt....yippeeeeee.

Thanks for all your love and support over the past 6 weeks, couldn't have gotten through it all without all your friendship...
