Re: Broken fibula healing time?

Broke my fibula on monday. Labor day.

Went two days with it broken, then got it x-rayed.
I tricked the assistant principal into thinking I couldn't walk. My mom didn't want to take me to the hospital because of what I was doing prior to the injury.

Anyway. I got it x-rayed wendnesday the same week.
They said it's in good alignment. He put a splint on and This monday i went to an orthropod and got a walking cast put on. I'm walking around wearing that thing like it's just a sock.
It's such an unconvienence. Such a bloody hassle.

Anyway they said that i can probably have it off 5 weeks from yesterday. (monday the 8th)

I learned a lesson.
Drugs & Fences don't mix.
