Thread Name: BS: Did Cap't Bob break his ankle?
Subject: RE: BS: Did Cap't Bob break his ankle?
My sis had a break like that, Cap't. She didn't rest enough and they had to rebreak it, insert pins, and heal (on her ass) all ocver again. So please, do find someone to help with the winter chores, so you can get back to proper strength.

Your former weight is actually a help in this-- weight-bearing makes for strong, dense bone, and you may find a faster healing than you might have, otherwise. Just remember-- healing, and building new bone, are hard physical work. As hard as digging ditches. So eat well and rest well. Doze off a bit anytime it seems like a good idea. It will all sort itself out.
