I saw the orthopedic specialist yesterday afternoon, and as expected, he said that I have recovered from the broken leg and I can resume my regular activities “as tolerated.” Woo-hoo!!!<\/p>\n

At the close of his examination, he turned to me and said, “wear sneakers for the next few months.” Yeah, right.<\/p>\n

I said, “really, why?”<\/p>\n

He said, “you will still have some swelling, so the sneakers can expand to accommodate it.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I said, “what about boots that lace up?”<\/p>\n

He didn’t know what to say. He just smiled and said, “sneakers will be fine. You won’t be able to wear boots for a while.”<\/p>\n

Little does he know. I’ve already been wearing boots for three weeks. I have choices of boots that can accommodate the minor swelling that I have and do not cause me any discomfort. So to heck with the sneakers: “resume normal activities as tolerated” means, to me, wearing boots. That’s that.<\/p>\n

Now, to work on carving down that huge list of “gotta-dos!” then get out a ride! <\/p>\n

Life is short: wear your boots!
