On a practical note: if crutches are a danger, see if hubby can get you a walker. It is more stable than a pair of crutches.

Oh, Bikerbraid, I am SO SORRY!!! I pray you experience a swift healing! Ever wonder why these things happen??? ??? ???

*Will you be able to ride your bike ever again?*

Where I live we have ice and just got over having single digit temps too. I'll be thinking of you next time I step over an icy spot on the sidewalk when I'm out walking my pup Smokey...

God bless and speed your healing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like you need a big, warm bear hug. I've never had a day THAT bad! At least this didn't happen a week before SAGBRAW. I put out a new chapter to the Goddess novel. Maybe Kirby Ann's bad day will take your mind off your's?

Things are getting better.

I actually got several hours of sleep last night - whoo hoo! Hubby and I re-adjusted my crutches and removed the oversized pads at the top and now I can get around better. My right hand is still pretty sore, so I can't go very far on the crutches.

I went in to work today - hubby played chauffer and even carried in my work bag! My job is sedantary, so no problems there. It is a small office and everyone is helpful.

I'm trying to talk hubby into getting a hand held shower for our walk in shower. That would make hair washing much easier from a stool, which I will have to use.

I am soooo glad this didn't happen any later - I would hate to have it cut into my biking too much. I still don't know how long I will be in a cast - I'll find out on Friday. I'm hoping that cycling will be considered good therapy!

I'm pooped from the day already and plan on veg'n out watching the Olympics with a glass of wine and my foot propped up.

I am so sorry to hear about your recent trauma. Wishing you well to get over the aches & pains as quick as possible. On the bright side, perhaps, with that one sucky day, the rest of the year will be suck-free.

Thank you all for your well wishes. Wednesday was a rough day - I was sore everywhere - between the injuries from the fall and soreness from using crutches, I was a mess. But today I feel a bit better. My coordination on the crutches is getting better. Going up stairs is still a mystery to me - thank goodness I only have to do 2 steps to get into the house and hubby is there to help.

I have some sort of a bruise/callous/blister on the heel of my right hand. I must have done something to it when I fell. Unfortunately this REALLY hurts when I am on the crutches. Oh well.

Tomorrow I see the orthopedic specialist and find out what my recovery plan will be - surgery or a cast? Obviously I'm hoping for just the cast. If they put more metal into me, I'll NEVER make it through airport security! Grin

Even though I only broke the fibula, I'm still going to have to have surgery. Apparently I severly tore all the ligaments in the ankle so that my foot/ankle/leg bones won't work together correctly without the surgery. Tongue

My new nickname will be erector set lady! I will have more screws and plates holding me together! Grin

It was interesting to see my foot and ankle when they took the splint off. My ankle was every color in the rainbow! Grin

The inside of the ankle was red, black and blue, the top of my foot was purple, and the outside of the ankle and all the way up my shin was green and yellow! The entire foot, including my toes were very swollen and the ankle, of course, was swollen to the point of not being able to see any bones.

I'm in an aircast now - at least I can put a little weight on the foot now, which will make things much easier to get around. And I can remove it to bathe!!!

The surgery will be next Friday, so I guess I won't plan on hosting a chat next week, but maybe we can work out having someone else host it.
