SO very sorry to learn of your condition. That hurt like something else, I know....

Hopefully some kind souls in here will assist in getting you groceries and such. And a shame those magnificent breasts of your will be out of action....

You can still work ... just keep your ankle in its cast/boot and elevated.

[Analeese]

Yes I did about 3 years ago..i was in a boot and on crutches for about a month ...

I broke mine getting off a small wooden bridge at a park...

[ElBombero]

Gotta keep it elevated!

I broke my ankle 6 years ago and have never fully recovered. My Orthopedic says it's that kind of injury. Hopefully, yours isn't as bad as mine was...

When you get the cast off, the Doc is going to recommend physical therapy of some type even it's just you doing it alone.

I strongly recommend you do what he says. You'll likely have some degree of permanent broken blood vessels in the area of the break. Doing the physical therapy will keep that to a minimum and increase your long term health of the ankle.

Good thing you didn't break a tit !

I did PT for over 6 months afterwards and then went back about a year later for another 2.

One other thing to watch is your diet. I didn't change how I was eating and I gained about 40 pounds over the cast/PT timeframe.

That is a smart tip about not gaining weight during and after recovery. The more a person weighs the more extra pressure is on feet and ankles making it more difficult to heal and might compromise long term results.

I'm doing every thing the DR says not working at all keeping it up above my hart
no wight on it what so ever DR. said. and I hope not to put wight as in pounds on
any ways I hope not .. I been working out with a trainer last 7mos but not going to happen now ..

both sides of the ankle has a broken bone .. inside of foot and outer side
go back the the DR in 2 weeks see how things are going ..

[tttalinky]

Sounds damn painful to me.......hope it gets better each day that goes by.

[pyramider]

Do what the doc and PTs tell you.

A couple of things about PTs:

PTs cannot count. Do your own counting,
When a patient screams or cries, PTs hear little children laughing and giggling.

Got hit by a truck. Broke my ankle in 6 places. Boot for 6 weeks. Other injuries on top of that. Took me out of the hobby for a looooong time. Hell, took me out of life for a long time.

Good luck on recovery. Take it easy!!!

Gina, I think your trainer will be able to change your regiment and work around the injury.....I just had back surgery on March 6 and am now just beginning to get back into things, good luck
