GRANDMA BOOTED!

No, it's not what you think!! The car wasn't booted and Grandma wasn't booted out of anywhere. Grandma injured her left foot and now has to wear this lovely "boot" for who knows how long. There's nothing broken, but there might as well have been because my foot reacted as if it had been broken. It would swell up and then get better then swell up again. And it hurt like heck!! It took me over two weeks to finally get to the foot doctor, but I have to admit that since I've been wearing the boot, the pain in my foot has ceased.

I'm thinking about wearing a weight on my right foot to balance out things. Otherwise, my left leg and derriere will be more toned than the right!! OMG!! I'll be lopsided!!! lol Maybe it just feels that way.



Some of my friends have said that I should decorate the boot, but I don't know. It certainly isn't very pretty. I think of myself as a basic black kind of girl, but what do you think? Any suggestions to make this thing a little less, um, ugly?

I know I'll be wearing it for at least another week, that's when I see the doctor again. Meanwhile, I'm getting some interesting physical therapy consisting of attaching electrodes to my foot to make the muscles move. Grandma knows how to have fun, doesn't she?

  1. I think you should put those "glue" jewels all over it in different quilt designs.

    That's not a fun thing for Grandma to do.
