Hi Laurin,
I never used the pump on my boot. It protected my ankle just fine. I hope your recovery goes well. How bad was your break? I broke the tibia, the fibula, and dislocated a third bone. Had surgery a week after I broke it. It's been 6 months. Just take it easy!
Sincerely,
Kate
I don't understand. You had surgery on December 21, you don't see your doctor again until February 9th, and you aren't in a cast/don't even have your own boot? What happened?
Are you in a splint? Non weight bearing???
i meant to put i HAD surgery on december 21st. sorry for the confusion
No, I understood that you had surgery -- I repeated that in my post. What I don't understand is the rest of it. You're not in a cast or boot provided by your doctor and you don't see them again for over a week?
