No Surgery!

The orthopedist gave me the good news yesterday that my ankle is still aligned so no surgery is needed. I get to keep my cast for another week and then switch to a walking boot. This is a welcome relief! It also means that I won't have a cast during our visit to Kenya -- even though I'll still need crutches to get around. If all goes well, I'll be back on my feet by Labor Day, though some physical therapy might be needed before I'm fully recovered.
