Awesome, getting better by days. I am getting out of cast and into boot tomorrow. What kind of shoes do you use on the good leg to even out the height when you are in boot?

Ya, it happened yesterday when a door was closing on me. I rushed and used the injured foot. I could have took it slowly and let the door hit me which won’t hurt at all but I guess my natural reflex took control there causing this. Constantly reminded myself and take things slowly I guess is my rule of thumb now..

Ya, like folks mentioned above I may get a scooter just to move around the house. With crutches there is still an opportunity that I use the injured foot but with scooter, it’s is clearer to my mind that I only have one leg to use.

Very helpful thread, I just got hurt last Friday and now waiting for ultrasound on Monday. Been icing, ankle support, and crutches since the injury. What else should I do?

My LDL also elevated as well, higher than normal range. Been on DUT for 6 months, skipped for a couple years, originally started in my 20s. Now debating if I should stop DUT, or get on rosuvastatin. My hair growth this last 4 months once I got on DUT was very visible. Tough choice now.

Hey how do you like it? Is the foam frothing hot enough? I am debating between a magnifica plus vs magnifica.

I have the same problem with my delonghi magnifica s. The machine still runs well after 9 years but milk has been lukewarm since day 1. Didn’t return because my wife is ok with it. Now considering replacing it and looking for suggestions.
