Whoops!

So recently celebratory, but I have just found out that I have fractured a bone in my foot. Too many years of Denosumab and Zometa? So now I am the lucky owner of a stylish black moon boot and am hobbling around as best as I can. Takes away the independence somewhat. Due to travel to Sri Lanka in 6 weeks, but it is unlikely I will be healed by then - maybe catching a lot of tuk-tuks.
Regards.... Pam.

Re: Whoops!

What a bummer. If you have to wear the boot, make it sexy. Get some fabric paint and style it up. Hope it doesn't hurt too much.
