THE BOOT

I had my final cast removed today!  We were at the doctors forever but in the end they put on a walking boot.  They joked around with me for a bit saying they didn't know how many weeks it had been and if I was ready for the boot.  Funny doctors who understand my personality.  The casting tech put on my boot and told me to take a couple steps.  I was so scared!  But I did it and Ty took a video on his phone.  The med student working with the doctor told me I should incorporated my walking boot into my Halloween costume.  I told her I had planned to.  I was going to be a drunk drivers victim.  I also asked the male casting tech if I could wear skinny jeans under the boot.  He didn't know what skinny jeans were so the med student and I explained it to him.  He figured it was OK!  But all other looser pants go over top.  They don't want my leg moving in the boot.  I immediately came home and took off the boot off to wash and shave my leg.  My leg hair was super long so I went through two razors and it took about 20 minutes.  Then I took a towel to my leg and I think at least five layers of skin came off on the towel.  I put on half a bottle of moisturizer and put my boot back on to walk around the house.  I have to wear another shoe on my foot to even out my hips.  Since the boot goes outside and inside I wash it off every time I enter the house.  I hate dirt.  Here are pictures from the day!

 EWWWW

 The boring waiting room


Mom is just about to pick me up and take me to Leigh my physio who will be my best friend for the next 4 months.  It will be painful but good for the foot.  Mom and I are then going shopping at Dixie Value Mall!
