Red Cast

Today my mom had an appointment with her Ortho doctor regarding her sprained right ankle and her broken left ankle. She received a good report in that they told her if she stayed off of her broken ankle she probably would not need surgery, however because she is diabetic it would most likely take her a full eight weeks to recover. They did explain to her that if for some reason her Tibia pulled away from her ankle this would require surgery, probably using screws to keep everything in place. I am hoping for her sake that this doesn't happen. The doctor did put a new cast on her leg today, bright red, her favorite color. I'm sure people will be able to see her coming from a mile away. I'm sure this matches her red toe nail polish perfectly. Ha Ha!
