Update/summary on my ankle

I was in a boot for 6 weeks, then in a cast for 3 weeks. Those x-rays showed that my ankle was 3/4 healed so surgery was not needed. I didn't want my cast off yet, but the doctor insisted it was time. I still couldn't put any weight on it for 2 more weeks and I wore the boot again. Then I could finally put some weight on it again. I bought an awesome ankle brace at Walgreens. It looks like a courset for the foot and ankle with hard plastic down the sides. I still wear it and I will for a long time. I still walk with a limp, but I am trying to consciously not limp and get my whole foot use to having weight on it again. Speaking of weight, I've put about 10 pounds back on. bleh! But I am hoping in the spring and will be able to get back to excercising again.
