Yep. This is my new ride. A visit with an orthopedic physician early this morning (I do think 8:00 AM is early) resulted in owning a new foot appliance.

The doctor actually sneered at my little “post op shoe”, declaring it wouldn’t do any good. A tendon in my leg had broken a bone in my foot as it rushed to protect my ankle. The tendon needed to be stabilized all the way up to my knee.

Thank you, leg tendon. I’m relieved my ankle is operating just fine.

This fancy schmancy boot will be with me for the next four weeks. The doctor said wearing it would stop the pain.

I beg to differ.

My tendon is screaming its objection to being encased in this plastic and velcro contraption. I hope we both will get used to it.

Okay. End of medical report. Here’s a sunset from last week.

Not exactly life in the fast lane, thank goodness.
