I am so happy to hear you are alright - but wow!! What a scare! Glad to hear your foot is recovering, even if they stuck you in another cast. I go Tuesday to have my stitches removed and then I will find out what the next step is too (no pun intended!) And hopefully I will be able to go back to work - not that I don't like being at home on crutches by myself all day with 100s of movies to watch and needlepoint to do - my bosses brought me the laptop on Wednesday and I have been working from home!!!

I can't get away from that place to save my life!!
I'm getting tired of the crutches though! I can place my foot on the floor now, but still can't bear any weight. The nurse (ha ha - not!) said I could start walking as soon as I didn't feel any pain when I stepped down, as soon as 48 hours after surgery - so that will be in a week or two I hope!!
I had trouble with the anesthetic this time around - you had fun with the pain releivers! Great pair we make eh! My heartbeat slows down when I'm under and they now tell me not to have Fentanyl (sp?) to be put under. I guess it dropped too far! Then of course because I've never had any problems before, I was sick from the drugs too. UGH!

I totally symapathize with you darling!! Keep that foot elevated! All the best for the rest of your recovery!
