Twenty-eight days since fracturing my ankle (but who’s counting). I was looking forward to my doctor’s appointment yesterday (“looking forward to a doctor’s appointment” – now, that’s a first for me) thinking I will finally give the orthopedic boot the boot and be frrrrrrreeeeeeee. Not. I forgot the ligament was going to take longer to heal than the bone.
- The good news: The bone is healing, I don’t have to wear the boot to bed, the wrapping is off and can take a shower without my foot sticking out into the room.
- The mediocre news: I have to transition from the boot into an ankle brace sloooooooooowly . . . for a month.
- The bad news: My ankle hurts if I walk and pain makes me crabby.

This would make a lesser person take to the bottle. Which reminds me, today is National Wine Day. Read this fascinating post on the benefits of wine which include things I need RIGHT NOW:
- Anti-aging (who knew?)
- Blood thinning (so it no longer boils)
- Boosts immune system
- Increases bone density
- and . . . 6 more benefits (you’ll have to click on the link below to learn how all 10 benefits help you)

Hi Judith,
I just saw your email and am so sorry about your ankle. I wish you a speedy recovery even though I know that it has been twenty eight days and you are not counting. I hope other than your ankle, all is well.
Lots of hugs and kisses, Fariba

Fariba,
How nice to get your comment!
Thanks for the speedy recovery thoughts. The bone fracture is better (based on x-rays) but I fear the torn/pulled ligament is going to take a while. I’m alternating between the boot and ankle brace – no more stiletos! Meanwhile I’m hanging tight. The unfortunate part is that it flares all the fibromyalgia “stuff”. Such is life. I so hope you are doing ok and always sending love,
judy

Shari,
That’s the only thing I’ve not tried . . . if my ankle weren’t so sore I’d try grape stomping which is close to red wine as my feet might every get.
