Yep. She's stubborn, though, and wouldn't dream of buying one (or having one bought for her). She was able to walk on it in the cast boot thing two weeks ago, and carefully, in shoes, as of yesterday. Now she's fighting me because Dr. told her she had to have good, supportive athletic shoes-he wrote a prescription and everything--and she won't buy any (or let me). *smdh*
The thing that kept me following doc's orders was hearing both from him and several other people about people who tried to do too much too soon and completely undid the corrective surgery meaning they either lived with it worse than it was before or went through the surgery again. No way was I going to do that. But then, I may not be nearly as stubborn (cut off your nose to spite your face much? ;)) as your mom. =D

My aggravation knows no bounds lately. Being the middle of the sandwich generation ain't no fun--lol.

If I need to have surgery, I think I'll opt for the pirate look...

My doctor called. The foot is fractured in addition to torn ligaments, internal bleeding and an infection. I’m seeing the Orthopedic doctor tomorrow morning. My doctor didn’t tell me I had to stay off it, so I’m coaching our softball team’s final game under the lights tonight.
