Hi there,just an update,well my cast was too loose,so I had to go again this morning to have it redone.It feels more secure now,but a dull ache most of the time I am supposed to raise it as much as possible,as the first few days are important,trouble is that as I have a desk top computer I find it difficult to stay emailing ,so please may I thank you all for your inquiries and very kind words,that mean so much to me.Love Jan. PS I have been told that my foot is purple,blue ,and black ,so I didn't know what clothes will go with that, I guess that it doesn't matter as I am wearing burgundy boot on good foot,and some sort of prehistoric black boot on my broken toed foot. I must look a picture of elegance ,Ha Ha. Thank you for the song Harold,your kind words Dawn,Elizabeth,Jim,John,Tony,Malcolm,Carol,I hope that I have not left anyone out,if so then please forgive me,Head not doing exactly what it should at present .x
