From this point though, I will go back into my walking ski boot and crutches. If the x-rays look good. I am slightly worried about him putting another cast on since I still have alot of pain. (fingers crossed this dosen't happen) First thing Im gonna do is soak my leg in a nice bubbly bath. For those who have had a cast can appreciate what I'm talking about there..lol.. Anyway, wanted to share my happy news about my ankle, I will post after my doctor's appointment to let everyone know how it went.

Originally Posted By DreamFairy Yay! it's off!!!! What a grand feeling it is to touch my foot Although it looks really nasty. The ONLY reason I wasn't out back in the another cast is because I have a huge sore on my heel. Apparently it is some sort of a pooled blood blister that popped in my cast *nasty i know* so I am now in what DH calls the *bitty boot* it is exactly like my large knee high ski boot, just shorter. This one I can actually put on by myself. Thank you for the well wishes I am excited that it is healing rather well all things considered. It is pretty sore from the prodding and the x-rays looked steller. The top of the screw has also been pushed a tad bit up but my doctor didn't seem to concerned with it right now. Off work for another 4 weeks. Weight bearing only what I can tolerate and at this time I have taken about 10 total steps and its a killer.
