Well no wonder! I saw the Orthopedic Surgeon today, about my sore ankle. He saw a fracture on the xrays I had last week (2nd lot I’ve had) and sent me for a CT scan. Fractured Talus dome, torn cartilage and torn ligament. Certainly not good for walking and touring on overseas! Darn it. I’ve done some damage!
So surgery is scheduled for Thursday next week. It’s been 10 weeks already, I wonder how much longer it will be?

2 of my boys were home for the w/end – eldest & youngest. It was nice. I sat in the recliner and crocheted, watched TV and relaxed. Ankle is sore! It’s worse now than when I was overseas! Tut, tut!

Michelle, thank you so much, you’re a sweetheart!
I am really stubborn, lol. The ankle really was painful and very swollen. I have been on Ibuprofen and powerful pain meds for nearly 11 weeks now. I could not let it stop me too much. But it limited me to only the open top tour buses. I couldn’t go into the museums, churches, etc as I’d love to have done. I still had a fabulous, amazing and wonderful time!

I guess that was a case of Charlene’s mind over the matter of her foot. I might have done the same thing, after all the time you spent planning your trip and all the excitement…
I’m sure they’ll fix it up right. Sending positive thoughts your way.
Please get some good rest, Charlene. Use this time to recharge your batteries.

when my husband saw me lying on the ground, he said, “You’ll have to cancel your trip”. It shocked me to my feet in horror, and I walked for the next 10 weeks. Well sort of lol

I reckon so. He went through it very thoroughly with me, and gave me a website to get info. He is the doc that operated on my wrist 11 weeks ago. That has healed well! Thanks so much!

I’ve had it with being tough and brave. Besides I’ve been told it just does more damage even just standing on it. So I’ll be good.
