I love your new avatar. That will certainly help me remember that you're the one with the broken foot.

How long do you have to wear the cast?

Gah Shoe, I thought you were announcing you POAS....

I changed my avatar just for you!

 I am in a Jones wrap right now.  That only has the hard cast material on the bottom of my foot up to the back of my knee.  It works like a splint.  I have my surgery on Wednesday and I will get Polar cold therapy circulating cold water system thing.  I'm not sure how long I will have to use that.. maybe a few days or a couple weeks? 

Then I will finally get a cast.  I will have to be in a cast for the reminder of the time I am non-weight bearing: 6-10 weeks after surgery.  I have been trying to decide on what cast color I am going to get.  I'm thinking black or hot pink.

I think (I'm not sure) after I get the cast off, I will get one of those sexy boots. haha.

That's a lot longer than I thought. I hope it goes by quickly for you.

Just for you, I'm going to make my announcement title "I peed on some sticks yo". 

I thought this might cause confusion. And then I remembered I didn't care. My threads always have a ton of views. Might as well build some suspense for everyone, since they're all going to look anyways.

Hey lady -

I just wanted to say I am really sorry about your foot. I have been lurking lately but rarely like to type out responses on my iPad anymore. Too much of a PITA.

I also had a Jones fracture. Happened in Nepal. The hospital there was the scariest thing ever. And the Nepali ortho wanted nothing more than to operate on a diplomat. I swear he was sharpening his knives the moment he looked at my x-ray.

But the American PA stepped in and treated me very conservatively.  I was in a full hard cast and crutches for 6 weeks. And then a boot. There was no such thing as handicap anything there. I had no elevator at work and broke every toilet paper holder at my job trying to get up and off the toilet.

It sucked. So I really, really know your pain. I am thinking of you and sending you heal fast vibes.

 I appreciate all the good vibes I can get!!  I actually don't have a Jones fracture, I have 6 fractured bones and a lisfranc dislocation/fracture.  The type of wrap my foot is in is a Jones wrap.  Either way, foot injuries are serious business.  

Remember to take your foot off the break before impact everyone!!

Yup it sure did cause all of this.  My car wasn't crushed in around my foot or anything.  I just was breaking at the time of impact!!  I think it is more common than people might realize!
