You might remember me writing a while back about discovering I had broken my ankle months before. Today was the big day - surgery to re-break the bones and get screws in, etc., technically, an osteotomy and something with the word 'drilling' in the description.
The surgeon chose a lovely florescent orange cast for me. Why? I don't know. It doesn't really match my stylish red toenail polish, does it?
My mother is staying with me for a couple days, pampering me ridiculously. I'm very spoiled! She even made me homemade Mac & Cheese.
Anyway, the surgery went really well, and I'm feeling pretty good, although still rather groggy. I'm not looking forward to spending a hot July in the cast, but what can you do? Thankfully, this Sunday is children's Sunday at church, so I have minimal responsibilities....
In the meantime, I'm checking out reviews of this waterproof cast cover. (I'm in denial about not being able to get in the pool all summer.) Anyone ever tried one?

Thinking of you as you wear a beautiful orange cast and praying for your healing!
*of course, I don't have a pool :)
David - the surgeon splits all his casts that way to make sure there is room to accommodate swelling. Weird, I know. Glad to hear the cast cover worked for you - gives me hope!
