Well, since my last blog, hubby managed to find some underarm crutches online and bought them, they have been a lot easier to use than the elbow crutches I must say. But the weight of the pot/cast still hampered a lot of movement.

This morning I went back to the hospital for an appointment to have a new pot/cast put on and an x-ray done. This pot/case is so much lighter it's ridiculous. And the x-rays looked really good to the doctor. I don't have to go back for four weeks and at that time they will take this pot/cast off to look at the stitches (although, they may have dissolved away by that time), take another x-ray and depending on the results of that x-ray I will either be able to keep the pot/cast off or have a walking one put on...I hope it is one I can take off...if push came to shove I could have mom send the one I have from when I broke my right foot eleven years ago...

Where to start...this last May we had to buy a new washer/dryer as the old one broke. Two weeks ago, just before hubby's carpal tunnel surgery, the lawnmower broke and had to buy a new one. Then he had the surgery and ended up in hospital the next day from a bad reaction to the codeine they'd given him for pain. Then not this last Saturday, but the one before, the heating element in our stove went out...so, we got a new element and replaced it. Then this last Saturday the toaster caught fire and we had to buy a new one...Then, to top it all off I had a very clumsy moment and broke my ankle...I was in hospital from Saturday afternoon until this afternoon (and now I'm thinking I came home too early as I can barely manage the crutches...)...I really wish they still did under arm crutches, all they have are these stupid elbow crutches...ugh! I hope this was the last of our run of bad luck...
