Hope it is feeling better. That said I would not be surprised if you come home with a pot on. They do not usually treat a fracture with just a tubi grip. It would usually be in a cast for 4 to 6 weeks followed by a little physio to get it moving properly. So depending on the type of fracture and location will depend on whether or not you are given a cast that can allow you to walk (with a lovely plastic shoe) on or if it is a non weight bearing cast.

Hope you feel better soon Scooby

Get better soon, Scoobs.

Just be glad it's just a temporary thing though, eh? :wink:

[Sticks]

And how did this accident happen?

[Siouxsie]

I was on the playyard with the kids at work and my left foot twisted into a hole on the yard. I am thinking of claiming
