Today makes one week since I got the cast. A friend visiting from San Diego took me to Dr. appointment at 3:15 pm . The Dr. was running behind so we had to wait for almost two hours. I found a place to raise my foot because I could feel it was swelling. When they call me in the nurse said they were going to do an x-ray and move me to a boot. This sounded odd since the plan was to move me to another week of cast. As it turned out he was confusing me with a gentleman that had broken his leg into three parts. The physician assistant that help the Dr. during surgery came by and corrected the mistake. I joked about the confusion and said I was not arguing because I was happy with the idea of going to a boot instead of another cast. The Dr. assistant went away and in a few minutes came back...the Dr. had approved moving me to a boot (!) with a half an inch wedge under my heal. Since I had left my boot at home, they put me in a temporary splint and sent me away. Next Dr. visit in three weeks.
