Gaigai, they did tell me stay off it and to use crutches too. And to keep it elevated but they didnt mention how high, is there a reason to keep it up high like you said? They gave me some Lortab and thats helping. I keep a bag of frozen corn that we use as an ice pack, it molds around your foot, ankle whatever as it melts and doesnt hurt like chunks of ice seem to do. Its in the kitchen and the crutches are upstairs (as is the bathroom!) and the kids are in bed so you wanna to grab that for me? LOL :D Sewaholic, you got that right, I once was running UP the stairs, tripped and broke a bone in my other foot. Im talented that way! Ha Ha
