It is a hard plastic with velcro straps to tighten it around the foot and leg. Once that is done, you pump up the air chambers inside to give more support to the broken bones. The nice thing about them is they are removeable for bathing and dressing.

I have broken bones, but nothing like that- I can only imagine the pain. Everything is so difficult when you can't move normally, but it sounds like you're doing great in this situation. Healing vibes coming your way, BB!

How long will you have to stay at the hospital, or will you get to go home the same day? More metal parts! Whoohoo. We'll call you the bionic woman. Or The BikerBraidinator.

The surgery is outpatient as it lasts only 1.5 hours. They usually use a spinal block for the anethesia, but my surgeon was not sure they could use that with my fused back, so they may have to use a general.

I like not having to spend a lot time in a hospital - been there - done that - prefer not to repeat. I will probably not be moving around much for a couple days, but at least I'll have my computer, my own bed, etc. Cheesy

Darn it! I just saw that!
Oh BB! I hope you heal soon and the surgery swiftly passes you by!
Darn it! I have slipped on snow/ice myself in the past and it's part of the reason I hate the darned thing, except in vacation time!
I am soo feeling for you. I hope the pain, at least, goes away instantly!!!
((((((((((BB)))))))))))))))
All the best for the surgery!

Thank you all for the well wishes. I know that the surgery will ultimately make things better, so I am OK with it. The frustrating part is that just as I am feeling a little bit better, they do something to me to make it all hurt again. Tongue

Hopefully this cycle will soon stop!

On a "what else can go wrong" note. Today at work, I'm getting ready for a conference call and the fire alarm goes off in the building! I am on the 6th floor of the building. I was not looking forward to trying to get down 6 flights of stairs on crutches!! Shocked

My co-workers are starting to panic, realizing I would have a difficult time. Plus we do not have a standard chair in our entire office (which is what you use to carry someone down stairs). Fortunately, the alarm stopped and we found out it was just an accidental trigger due to construction work. My boss immediately went down to the manager and commandeered a conference room chair to have in the office - just in case!

LOL Okay, I just got a mental picture here -- the Bikerbraidinator with her long braid flowing behind, casted foot stuck out in front and a couple of those diamond-party-cabana boys carrying her down 6 flights of stairs in a conference chair like the Queen of Sheba. 8) No, no don't tell me those cabana boys turned into balding, middle-aged men with spare tires Shocked

Sorry, occupational hazard - a bizarre sense of humor about medical issues Tongue

OH, PL - thank you for the chuckle! I really needed it tonight. (No pain meds allowed and I'm a hurtin').

Actually, from my office, I would have a good looking young Dutchman on one side and a slightly older fella on the other. However, if I was lucky, the young longhaired fella from the other office on our floor might provide assistance! Grin

Cabana boys...... I wonder what they would be doing on the 6th floor of our office building in March? LOL!
