Guest guest Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Hi Kathleen! I'm doing great other than I am BORED out of my mind. My stitches are supposed to come out Friday and I am trying to behave and keep my foot elevated until then (I am a lousy patient!) I went to work yesterday, 2 wks post op, and overdid it. My boss made me take the day off today, she is a former RN so there's no pushing this recovery thing with her around. No shoe shopping yet! I will probably be tied up in a cast until Feb-Mar...........ugh. Thanks for the tip about Nordstrom's, at least I can do some preshopping! Have a great rest of the week!!! > > > Has anyone had their child in daycare while he/she was still > in > > the > > > casts or brace?
