[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in a boot for 3 months, crutches for half of that.  Be grateful you’re not on crutches and it’s only 6-8 weeks of the boot.   There are far worse injuries and surgeries out there.

I did a ton of upper body strength work, I got ridiculously good at push-ups (20+ at a time and 40 in 2 min), and got my first unassisted pull-up and unassisted dips.  30-something woman.  That was 5 years ago and I’m super grateful for having upper body strength now.[/quote]

Oh good, another entrant in the misery Olympics. I guess you should be grateful you didn't have to amputate. [/quote]

Oh good, another person unable to recognize that 6-8 weeks of a boot is not the end of the world or even remotely a big deal.   I also shared the athletic things I was able to find fulfillment in while temporarily disabled.  But it requires motivation and a can-do attitude, which is in short supply.[/quote]

NP. Who are you tell someone it’s not even remotely a big deal? It is a big deal to the OP, and they noted why. [/quote]
