Third Time’s a Charm: The Cast is Gone!

Published by at 3:23 pm under Dolomites,Italy

The doctor in Merano took my plaster cast off for good!  It’s been replaced by an air cast that I only wear during the day with a sneaker.  I’ll need to wear it for four weeks.  But, I’m quite happy hobbling around, and I’ve already ditched my crutches for most walking situations.

BTW, my left calf is noticeably smaller than my right calf after only 2 and a half weeks!  Don’t you think that’s amazing?  Too bad I didn’t have my stomach in a cast all this time.  😉

I’m going to see my doctor in Boston next week when I’m home to talk about next steps.  We’ll see what she says about whether I’ll be ready to go riding horses and camping in Mongolia in a week and a half.

Thanks for all your comments and emails with well wishes!  I’m feeling better and better every day.
