Ahoy! It's Cast Off Time!

Okay, so it's a bad pun. Whatever. Today is the first day without the cast. I went shopping yesterday to buy a supportive pair of shoes (a lovely pair of Merrells)... and oddly enough, the only pair that not only fit, but that I could find in my size. No helpful sales people came to my rescue... you'd think they would after I hobbled in on a cast. Anyway, so far so good. I have a minor limp but I'm holding my own (and sometimes added children) weight. We'll see how my foot looks once the shoes come off tonight.
