>Allan, how long has it been since you've been in the cast, how long >do the doctors think you need to be wearing it, and how fast do you >think you're actually improving? (Remember, grumpiness is a sure >sign of being on the mend <G>) > >If the doctors are saying 6 - 8 weeks and it's only been 3 then >you're probably pushing it. Work with your doc and tell him your >agenda. he may allow the cast to be removed if it's not all that >early (by the time you're due to leave.) > It's possible you or he could call ahead and arrange for someone >from the hotel/facilities/airport to help you with baggage, >transporting yourself, etc. Help may come from unexpected >sources but you will probably have to ask for it. >If the foot is really still that painful, it may be telling you that you >shouldn't push it and try to travel until it's rested and healed. I don't >know how involved you are with ACRES USA but you may have to >delegate your jobs this year and sit this one out. > >If you saw the cast off yourself, be careful! They use a bone saw in >the hospital. (I can see Allan now, chainsaw in hand <G>!)
