<VV> leg update...

[LonzoVair@aol.com]

Hey guys and gals,
Just a short note to let everyone know MY CAST IS OFF!!!!!! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 
HA! (Sorry, had to throw in a Rebel yell there since I'm thrilled this time 
has come!)
As some may remember, I broke my leg in March... well, after almost 4 months 
in a cast (3 different ones, thank goodness... can you imagine the stench?!?) 
I now have a "removeable brace" that I can take off to shower, but the Dr 
wants me to sleep in it.... the bone is starting to show signs of knitting itself 
back together... the gap looks to be about the thickness of a dime, instead of 
the 1/4 inch is was last month. I'm still on crutches, but I have some up and 
down movement of my foot, so that helps with the walking. The Dr also told me 
I could start to get around with just one crutch for short walks in the 
house, but go back to both if it starts to hurt.
I want to thank everyone who wrote, called, prayed, sent me t-shirts, and 
even stopped to encourage me during the convention... it is still quite swolen, 
and Cheryl tells me my foot resembles Fred Flintstone's foot, even though I 
have 5 toes and he only had 3.... but it is sooooo nice to get rid of that cast. 
The Dr also told me it might be a year before it is completely healed, but it 
has started making some fast progress in the last month. That magnetic bone 
stimulator thing MUST be doing its job!
Well, thanks again to everyone... now maybe, if the rain EVER STOPS, I can 
get some work done on my vans... and dig up some parts... and figure out where 
all my strange parts have been packed in what boxes...
Still unpacking....
