Took a good fall today while doing some landscaping on a grade. Things went crackle & pop but no snaps. :yum: Foot is sore and my ankle looks just like Hillary's. :yum: Big and fat. Now I am wearing an immobilizing device for two weeks and on a light duty chit. This sucks. :yum:

Those boots are no fun at all ...but they are better than crutches. When wifey had the 'boot' she also rented a knee walker ....it has wheels like a skateboard and you set your knee on it, and it has a handle for you to steer with. She got pretty fast at getting around ...cept when she needed to do the stairs.

The story goes,,,; there are many old electricians, and many careless ones but few careless old electricians.

You aren't becoming "careless" are you?

Stick around dude. You've got so many people to yet irritate and annoy.

Well, on the bright side I was planting Begonias, Irises and Hostas, not working on 33 & 66 KV sub transmission lines. :yum:

On the downside, I am terribly embarrassed over my Hillary ankle. Good thing the walking cast keeps it hidden. :yum:

THE BOOT IS OFF! :clap::thumbup: As of Friday. Now I start 6 weeks of intensive physical therapy run by my wife. Laser therapy, ice baths for the foot, NSAIDS, stretching, exercises and walks.

I will be wearing a BIO SKIN Tri-Lok AFO to support the arch. The goal is to reduce chronic inflammation or tendonitis of the Tibial Tendon and hopefully gain a little more support to the arch.

My wife has decided that my PTTD is a level 2 out of four and the Tibial Tendon MAY respond to therapy without an operation. Worth a try, that's for sure.

Gonna be an interesting six weeks. :yum:
