Thanks everyone for all the pointers. Got a good report today on the breaks. The bigger of the 2 is a non-displaced transverse fracture and the other is a chip that broke off, but the doc said both are below the ankle joint and the ligaments seem to be in pretty good shape, so while I’ll be in the boot for a month or more, I will be weight bearing in 2 weeks, just when I return from meeting the grandbaby. Hopefully all goes smoothly and the hurricane doesn’t interfere.
Just did a nice shared help a stranger. A woman on our neighborhood neighbor site offered to let me borrow her scooter (she broke her ankle several months ago). Turns out they were headed to a baseball game tonight and my office doubles as a parking lot for the stadium, so I lent them my parking pass so they can park in my office lot. Win win for all.
