I went to the orthopedic doctor yesterday and he says the X-rays are showing my bones starting to knit. It's not healed completely yet but I can carefully start walking without the bootcast. For the next two weeks especially, he wants me to be careful to put the bootcast back on if there's any pain. I asked about line dancing and he was not for it. However, I asked if I could do it with the cast on and he said the foot would be protected in that case. So we'll see...
Art bought me a pair of shoes to wear indoors and a new pair of supportive sandals for when I go out.
Meanwhile... I'm on another Craigslist hunt for a loveseat. We'll have to go to opposite ends of the island to see the two I've found.

Congratulations on moving to sandals---I *LOVE* that he tells you can begin to walk carefully without, and you asked about line dancing! With that spirit no wonder you're healing well LOL. Good luck tomorrow looking at loveseats, and I hope you both enjoy the drive.
ReplyDeleteYou're certainly being a trooper regarding your foot, Kay. It sounds like the healing is coming along well, so that's good news. You'll be line dancing again before you know it.
ReplyDeleteBones "starting to knit"--I love that word picture. Good news.
ReplyDeleteAt least you got two new pairs of shoes outta the deal.
KAY...i am waiting for the day you post your line-dancing pics...good luck.Take care.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your foot is healing, hope you're soon back to line dancing! And good luck finding just the right loveseat! And, yes, congratulations on moving to sandals!
ReplyDeleteWonderful news for you. I chuckled when I read you inquired about line dancing...Have fun on your quest for the loveseats.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on that foot. It takes time to heal and you don't need to wear the cast any longer than necessary so maybe this time you could sit and watch.
ReplyDeleteGood news that it's starting to heal, though I'm sure you'd hoped that it would be further along by now. Supportive shoes and sandals sound like a good idea. I'd love to be able to wear sandals, especially in the hot weather, but I'm under strict orders to stick to lace-ups from now on. Fingers crossed that you'll be line dancing before long.
ReplyDeleteFeel (foot) better!
ReplyDeletechai's Island Bistro review tomorrow at my blog.....aloha, neighbor!

I go tomorrow for the 4 month check up at the orthopedic doctor about my leg. I am walking, and I hope my xray shows good bone growth, too. You want to line dance with that broken foot??
ReplyDeleteThis broken foot of yours certainly doesn't seem to have slowed you down much! Glad it's healing, though, so you can go, girl,go.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it Kay. you must be tired of the boot. Imagine how much dancing you have to catch up on.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon alright! Didn't know you line dance. Good excercise =)
ReplyDeletegood for you, can' t slow down a good woman. glad you are healing and still shopping-what a great excuse to visit other parts of your island.
ReplyDeleteThe bones are healing..yay!
ReplyDeleteI think our bones later in life take just a little longer
to "knit" together! Mine did, I know!
I think you really like line dancing..so cute what you asked the doctor. He probably smiled later on when he thought of you!
We're coming home tomorrow, my Mom seems better! Taking my laptop with me and getting a signal is so great. I don't miss a thing!
So glad you're better.
