Diana,

Yeah, sure I got the Yaktrax right away! See my post below. Did you get the Pros? This is a pre-Christmas gift to myself.

I wonder if you could take a look at this shoe and tell me if you think it's going to work, post-cast:

I figure I could leave most of the shoelaces open on the broken side until the swelling goes down.

I'm not sure if I will have to wear Ace bandages or not -- it that the usual?

I had heard a lot about compression stockings and support stockings -- have you tried them? Whcih ones do you like?

Thanks again for all the advice and support! It really cheers me up to have a compatriot in all this!
