Flexible Lightweight Cast (Walking Brace)
I am now in a foam and plastic boot that resembles a biker's boot! This allows me to walk on the foot which will help it heal and reduce the swelling. The bone was smashed into 5 bits (two fractures across the bone and the "floating" middle section of the bone was smashed into 3 fragments lengthways). It's healing a little crookedly as one fragment has slipped, but is acceptable and shouldn't need pinning.
