My cast is off!!! ...sort of.

This morning I went to the podiatrist (yes, more foot news) to get my 3rd cast taken off and have more x-rays done. I was so confident it had healed that I took a shoe for my right foot (the broken one) so I could walk out of his office wearing my own shoes. WRONG! It’s still broken. It’s healing, and there is bone growing, but it’s not quite ready yet. The good news is that rather than a fiberglass cast, I now have a removable cast which is much more comfortable. I can take it off when I need to (shower) and it is easier to walk in. This will also help to strengthen my ankle muscles, which haven’t been used in 6 weeks.

I will probably still need to wear it while in Europe, but anything is better than a fiberglass cast. The doctor is still a little weary and says I should be extremely cautious. If anything moves or pops before I get back from our trip, then I will need surgery. I guess outdoor ice-skating in Munich is out of the question now.

Work has been going well. I spent most of Wednesday in a conference room watching a presentation. We are in the process of selecting a new Warehouse Management System and we will make our final decision next week on which vendor to go with. In January I will begin planning with the vendor for the installation and training. Don’t be jealous. We can’t all be Warehouse Management Systems Project Managers…
