One month in and I'm still surviving!
So I went to the doctor this morning, it is 6 weeks and a day since I broke my foot, and...I'm healed :)
But, trust me, it was a much more interesting appointment than just that. I asked him if he was going to take an X-Ray. He said no, he just needed to feel my foot, too many X-Rays are bad for a person, something about Hiroshima...seriously. He seemed to know what he was doing but I really wanted the X-Ray for proof.
Then, for physical therapy, it is pretty basic what I need to do, just strengthening exercises for which I need one of those elastic band things for resistance (if you've done PT before you know what I mean). But...this is India, so I should go to a bike shop and get the inner tube from a wheel and cut it and use that. Which does work actually; so now I need to find a bike shop and negotiate that.
After one month I can safely say that broken bones and India do not work well together; there are too many stairs here; but the doctors are nice and the wait times are non-existent (after Canada wait times are a big thing for me). Hopefully bike wheel powered PT will help me to get fully healed so I can truly enjoy all the craziness around me.
