So I have a non-displaced closed fracture. I had initial xrays, the podiatrist looked at them this morning and said come back in 3 weeks for another round, and we'll see how it's going. I have a boot and they told me I don't need a knee scooter or crutches, but I've heard the knee scooters are an easier way to get around the house. Thoughts? It's kind of a pain putting the boot on and off, and they were frustratingly non-specific about how much I should be standing in it. "Don't go crazy" was the quote. I can do "light walking." Would a scooter be easier if I needed to cook, for example? Or can I stand in the boot long enough to do that? I noticed @Jenny said crutches were torture.
I'm trying to figure out if I can live without my husband so that he can go on our Alaska trip with my SIL. Sure I can have friends and family deliver a meal or whatnot (I mean, I can also just order) but so far he is doing a lot of, bringing me a glass of water, bringing me the laptop, feeding the dog, etc.
I just read through Jenny's old ankle thread--oof! Glad mine isn't that bad.
