3 1/2 months so far in cam boot


Posted: Nov 20, 2009

I saw my PCP today and he asked why I still had the boot on 3.5 months after I broke my foot.  I told him the bone had pretty much healed but I have a peroneal tear and damaged muscles, tendons, etc.  Every time I go to the pod doc, he asks how it feels, I'll tell him it's still painful, he tells me 2 more weeks in the boot and charges me my $35 copay.  Well, M.D.'s don't think much of foot doctors and he told me to see an ortho doc.  I got an appt. for Monday.  Please, I don't want surgery but it still hurts so bad and I'm tired of walking around gimpy.  Plus, the boot causes a leg length discrepancy and is causing me back issues.  Sigh.

with dislocation, had an ORIF, and was completely nonweightbearing for about 4 months, then in a boot another few months & had many months of PT. I still have pain/limping/limited use years later, but mine was really bad & I'm just grateful to be able to walk on it at all. I really feel for you - hang in there!!! There's a website called mybrokenleg.com I think that I found pretty helpful when I was going through my nightmare.

Obama In 39 MonthsApr 13, 2012
39 months of Obama in 231 words You must have health insurance to be a citizen, but you don’t need proof of citizenship to vote. Profit is scorned, non-profit revered. A man is innocent until proven guilty, unless his guilt suits a convenient narrative. Arming foreign criminals with guns that kill our agents is unworthy of investigation or a staffing change. Forty million new patients will receive health care without increasing the number of doctors, but your doctor and your health c ...

About Those Rioters: For Many Months, The Left Media Has BeenNov 13, 2016
were so clearly violent they would likely riot when he lost the election. The media were salivating at the ratings triumph of this imagined scenario. They knew that it was coming, and it was going to validate their contempt for Trump and anyone who supported him. So prevalent was the conviction that Trump was going to lose, and lose badly, that Chris Wallace, in the last debate, asked Trump if he would concede if he lost. It never occurred to him to ask Clinton the same question. Of cours ...

Are you buying that? GRAY: Well, I’m not buying that they’re dragging their heels. I am buying that they’re rooting against the economy somewhat because they think that the short-term pain of, you know, the next four months is much better than having additional four years of pain unde ...

Circuit Court of Appeals ruling, which either strikes a note for court decorum or hampers free speech, depending on your perspective. At issue in the case is none other than the F-bomb. At a criminal sentencing hearing last year, a defendant (who was not identified in the opinion) evidently was displeased about the sentence he received, exclaiming in court: “F** ...
