Well, the bad news is that, following a visit to the fracture clinic this morning, I'm still in plaster. Fortunately I'm able to put weight to the ground with this one so I've got the walking boot and a single stick to help bear the weight.

God, it feels great to be so mobile again.

I think that the no weight cast is just to give the wound a chance to settle

Its needed on certain types of break to stop it re-breaking after every impact during the early stage of healing

Well that depends on a number of factors, age, calcium, bone density, but normally a couple of weeks.

Re: Tuesday Open Thread (none / 0)

Given that I'm on 5 days, I think I must have had a different type of break.

Ah yours was an ankle wasn't it, so no weight resting on it so not as much strain.

Those genetically modified crops are going mad in the greenhouse if you're harvesting that.
