Hello All,
As you know I fractured my ankle on Sunday, 9 October. At present, I am suffering at home, mostly watching t.v, surfing the Net and doing a bit of homework support with my kids. I am taking it one week at a time. Unfortunately, mine will be a non-weight-bearing cast for the entire six-week expected healing time. When the doctor did a CAT scan of my ankle, he found what is thinks to be pre-existing damage to a bone in my foot; it is right under the fracture. They are a bit perplexed and other damage to the joint from my arthritis adds further complications. The end result is that I am currently unable to teach because I need to keep my foot up to control the swelling. In addition, my fluctuating discomfort (a euphemism for pain) is often such that I find it difficult to concentrate and I need to be able to concentrate in order to teach.
Thanks for your good wishes - especially for the card (Amber and Liz - it was very creative and made me LOL). I'm thinking of you. I hope things are going well for you all.
