It’s CAST OFF Day for Courtney!
My daughter broke her ankle doing gymnastics on March 20th has been in a cast ever since. She’s been MISERABLE!!!
But today is Freedom Day or CAST OFF DAY!
I took her to the doctor this morning and they cut the third and final cast off her leg and fitted her for a “walking boot”. A giant ski-boot looking monstrosity that she can take on and off to shower and move her foot around a bit.
The doctor told her she can put “half weight” on it while still walking with crutches; most importantly, he said she is healing perfectly fine and he doesn’t think they will need to do any surgery to repair the break.
She’s celebrating by taking the day off from school to take a real shower without a plastic bag on her foot.
