She is doing better. She is getting the hang of using the scooter. I have to take her to work and stay with her because she packs orders and most of the inventory is upstairs or in a building next door. She is only working a couple hours a day now because her leg gets sore and she has to put it up. I don’t get as much done as I would like to, but that’s how it goes. Our son is going to get his permit this week or next so he can take her to work and I can get stuff done at home. We put some of her homemade comfrey salve on her foot and she said it feels better. I broke a bone in the top of my foot a few years ago and she used her salve on it and I was up and walking normally in less than a week, but I don’t know how bad it was broken, just that it was because I heard the crack and it turned purple and hurt like hell. She has an appointment with a pediatrist on Tues, and they will probably take more xrays, so we will see how it is doing then. It is a jones fracture, so we are hoping it doesn’t need surgery. I am trying to get this trailer done so I can get some scrap hauled, get hay, and wood that my brother was supposed to help me get before he bailed for his girlfriend from 22 years ago. *sigh* It was crazy enough when he bailed, and bow with her broken foot, its just that much worse.
Oh man, not good. Just got off a knee scooter I ad for months. Speedy and painless recovery. I promise it might be pair free but not free of frustration.
Hopefully your wife will recover quickly. Once my wife broke the top of her foot when a 2 pound of frozen venison fell out of the freezer on to it. Guess who's fault that was...
Heal well Mrs Carlson! My wife is scheduled for hip surgery in August, they say she'll be 6-8 weeks "non weight bearing" on that side...neither of us is looking forward to the recovery period...we use all 3 floors of our home every day! This ought to be interesting... hopefully it works, doc gives it an 80% chance of being successful, the only alternative is a hip replacement, which at less than 50 YO, nobody wants to do, except as last resort.
