I'm so upset.  I fell Monday night and broke my ankle.  Thank god I didn't do any damage to my incisions.  I'm going to have a cast on for 8 weeks and then physical therapy for 8 weeks after that.  I guess going in the pool this summer is out of the question.  I'm six weeks out of surgery and was starting to feel real good.  I'm 40 pounds down (30 since surgery).  I hope these next 8 weeks go fast.   Hugs, Patricia

Awwww, sweetie, I', so sorry about this!   Maybe at 4 weeks or so they can put a soft cast/aircase on so you can swim!  I've broken and fractured my left ankle 9 times!!!  I'd be asking for sure!

WOOWOO 40 #  Keep going!

(((HUGS))) I have been there and done that 2 times and ankles hurt.  You can still do lots of good things for your upper body and abs!!   You can make it!  You have done great and it will get better!

Sorry to hear about your ankle.  My sister had to go through the summer with a cast once.  She was miserable.  She said the worst was the itching.  Congrats on the 40 lb weight loss, that's awesome!!

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that hun and I sure hope it goes fast for you as well.  Also you can take the physical  Therapy as your exercise so that is all good.
