My foot is healing pretty well (I sprained it a few weeks ago and then found out I had a broken bone and need to wear a boot). I’ve already gone out for quick trips this weekend without my boot on; the swelling is down, the bruising still appears to be the same as it was a week ago; the pain is completely bearable and my left foot can even hold all my weight (yay for not having to sit down to put on pants!).
I think I’ll keep wearing the boot for a few more days and still take it easy, and, of course, I’ve been using a cane, which I think has helped keep weight off my foot tremendously. And also gotten me some grief:
Yesterday I walked into Interzone, and a friend of mine said, “Hey! I almost called you today because I want a Save Ferris sticker!” (This is what I heard, actually.)
I was totally baffled. Why would someone come to me for a Save Ferris sticker? I know I’m a total ska nerd, but still? I replied, “Uh, Save Ferris broke up years ago.”
“Oh! You haven’t seen them!” she exclaimed. It turns out that someone created a “Save Faris” sticker with a cane on it and posted them around town and campus. I have yet to figure out who has done this.
Some documentation of one on Monroe Street:
How is this NOT Stoller?
Oh – it’s not scathing or sarcastic enough.
Great idea, though. I wish I’d had it.
Amazingly awesome!!!
How cool!
wow, i’ve got to get my hands on one of those stickers.
more importantly, adam needs one, as he was the guy who “broke michael’s leg.” i remind him all the time.
Oh, poor Adam. Thanks for keeping on him! 🙂
i saw a sticker near the library bike racks…apparently they are everywhere!
That is brilliant.
Keep your boot on as long as the doctor said! Remember the rainy night you could barely make it from Moreland to Waldo? If I see you bootless tomorrow, I’m putting a p.s. on your recommendation letter: “Does not follow doctor’s orders.”
Thanks, Vicki. The doctor said about two weeks for the boot, but it does look like it’s going to take longer. I was hoping to not need it by the end of the week, but I think I’ll need it until sometime next week.
