Two days after my BL incident, I went to the OS. The physician at the ER had said that I was looking at 6-8 weeks healing time. I had been thinking about this and got used to the idea.

The OS looked at my x-ray, confirmed the sprial break and the weverity of the break. No surgery, but as cast up to mid-thigh and a 2-3 month healing time. That's all I needed to hear. I immediately broke down.

I was supposed to be at school, wrapping up my year, and getting ready for the summer. Bummer!

The best thing that came from this appt. was teh Xero rubber boot they sold to me. This has beena lifesaver! I am actually able to take a real shower and have even gone swimming in the ocean with it.
