The Cast is OFF!

I'm learning how to walk again. It's very frustrating when your brain knows what to do, but you put your foot down and it doesn't do what you're telling it to do. The doctor trusted me to do this without therapy and without a walking boot. I didn't want to be stuck in something like that for four more weeks, so that was great news, even though the next few days are going to be tough without it. I would like to get rid of the crutches by Monday, but realistically, I'll be happy with next Friday, just in time for the girls' weekend of debauchery. This ankle

is going to look so good with this costume.

  3. Colleen already told me that when she hurt her knee and couldn't walk, she went out partying anyway, and by the end of the night, she could walk just fine. She thinks I'll be fine too after a few drinks. Let's see...a week into walking and alcohol...sounds like a winning combination.

    I always post different things here and on my other blog, catazonia.com. That's where I posted my costume choice, the sexy paramedic with the ugly foot. HA!

  6. harhar...I took the pics before the long soak, but the doc said not to scrub to avoid irritation. It was killing me not to! I've just about had it with being a good patient.

  11. You'll look so hot no one will even notice the foot. They might notice the fact that you're unable to walk properly though. I suggest carrying around a half-empty mug of whiskey. People will just assume your drunk.

  12. Looks like a FrankenFoot. It looks a lot better than I expected. After it happened, I figured u would have ur foot dangling by a thread. Glad ur back in business, just dont try running around naked after getting drunk. I think Crispix has that covered.

  13. Oh, I've got that covered...it's a open bar party! Corral Club does it right. So yeah, I'm usually drunk at these things anyway. Don't worry...I'm responsible, too.

  14. Can I just say I am positively tickled to know that THE Catazon deigns to read my blog? I saw you skate in July with the Houston Roller Derby, and was crushed to see you with a broken leg at the championship bout. Glad to see the cast is off, and even gladder to have a new blog to read.
