Yammer Dan Posted August 22, 2009 Share #1 Posted August 22, 2009 Doc said today I could park crutches as I could handle it. Shaking up all the hardware that was already there is causing me more pain now than anything. About like starting over with it. Everything has to grow into place. Asked him about work. Told him I needed to be able to take off and run to help other officers when I got there if necessary. He said never. More paperwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-muffin Posted August 22, 2009 Share #2 Posted August 22, 2009 How is the swelling on the foot Dan? Hope all goes well with your paperwork. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted August 23, 2009 What I ment to say was orginal hardware had over a year to attach itself to the bone and flesh in my leg and last accident loosened everything up again. feels real good. Swelling not as bad as it was Mini but longer I stay on it more it swells. It will get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dano Posted August 24, 2009 Share #5 Posted August 24, 2009 Good to hear progress is being made, it's always painfull when you start using it fully again. Sounds like the paperwork is going to be harder than getting back to your regular job! Got a very good friend of mine who does the same thing for a local county jail. He's had guys (cons AND jailers) work against him before, just 'cause he follows the rules! I know your job isn't easy and a lot of thankless days. But just keep thinkin' each day there puts you one more closer to walkin' out that door forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Annie Posted August 24, 2009 Share #6 Posted August 24, 2009 Hang in there Friend But be prepared for the swelling to never go away If the trauma to the leg/ankle was severe, then it may always swell - and be worse at the end of each day!! (ask me how I know) Shuffling paper's is better than sitting at home doing nothin' Annie..... who know's how ya feels..................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve S Posted August 24, 2009 Share #7 Posted August 24, 2009 Hey Dan. Did your doctor give you any ideas about where your gloves might be??? :rotfl: :rotfl: :stirthepot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetnothing Posted August 24, 2009 Share #8 Posted August 24, 2009 Dan, Sorry that the Doc won't let you go out and chase bears for a while:confused24: but take it one step a day! Don't stand for long lenghts at a time, give it a rest every now and then! It all will work out if you give it time to heal! Just remember....your not as young as you used to be, and don't heal a quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
