I broke my ankle on 2/16/03 in the middle of a 23 inch snow storm, big difference from Florida. Today I got good news from the Dr said I could start putting weight on it while wearing my cast! I hardest part is the confinement. I have watch every stupid thing on tv, including a story about family run funeral homes, did you know they have to put coloring in embalming fluid to make up for lack of blood? I will be a world of info when this is all over.Keep the sense of humor . Aggie
