Today was Daddy's birthday and I got to give him an extra special surprise! In case you haven't heard, two weeks ago I broke my leg and today I had my two week check up. The doctor decided to take my cast off and take an x-ray to check the healing of my leg.
I was absolutely terrified of the the saw and by the time he got the scissors out to cut off the gauze, I was screaming bloody murder. Thankfully, that part was over fast.
Mom was so surprised that my leg was not dried out and scaly AND that my leg hadn't atrophied all that much. After Dr. West read the x-ray, he decided that the bone was healed enough for a brace! WHOO HOOO! NO MORE CAST! He said I can take it off for baths, for SWIMMING and at night! I have to wear it during the day whenever I am walking.
Oh yeah, I can get used to this moon boot thing.
I am refusing to put any weight on my leg. It's almost like having to learn to walk all over again. Maybe I will try to take a few steps tomorrow, but for now I am just so happy to be rid of the cast!
