My plans for that year were totally changed. <br /><br />I only had a cast for 2 weeks, then the funny shoe, so hiking could still be possible, maybe just slower with more breaks.<br /><br />Wearing skirts will be nice since it's Spring, I broke mine in Winter! If you could sacrifice a pair of tights, the shorts/tights could be an option, cutting off one leg for the cast. <br /><br />If the cast doesn't cover the knee, it's not as heavy as you might think. And in 2 weeks, I had no skin flaking, and took baths with it wrapped in a trash bag. Yes the leg will be weaker, if you get physical therapy, mine involved lots of foot massages (an some balancing exercises), so that was fun. <br /><br />As for pity party remedies . . . I read a lot. I had exams to study for, but a friend brought over like, 15 books and that kept me distracted from feeling sad. Cute boyfriends do help a lot too :-) It's the one time you can pretty much ask them to do anything and they say yes! Trying to do things yourself will NOT heal you faster, so let others help when they offer. You'll return the favors once you're all better.BlondeInFrancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12931640652874076974noreply@blogger.com
