Erin, speaking as a person who’s vehicle was struck from behind at a dead stop and knocked over 1/10 of a mile from the point of impact, use all of the home remedies to heal yourself that you can, take epsom salt water baths, you can buy epsom salt at Sam’s, Wal Mart, some feed and seed stores, etc.. Use a heating pad, a massager to help with the swelling and circulation of fluids, tissue,etc, use ice packs, put one zip lock freezer baggie inside of another one, fill with ice cubes, then wrap a towel around it. That works better than the refreeze ice packs doctors try to sell you. Stay away from all prescribed pain medication that you can, buy over the counter pain relief if you absolutely have to have it. Elevate your foot, rest it on a pillow. Use a ace bandage wrap, don’t wrap it too tight, if needed for support. Look up the band, “ Humble Pie,” play their song, “ I Don’t Need No Doctor,”. Unless you get to where you can’t walk or the swelling gets to a point that you can’t see your ankle bone, or turns different colors, please try and let this heal on its like you were told. You are so fortunate, you could have had a concussion, neck/back injuries, etc. We all get stiff if we don’t move, so listen to the song and dance like nobody is watching. LOL 😂 Good luck and GOD bless you and your family.
My daughter broke her 5th metatarsal and is still in her boot after 7 weeks. Make sure with your boot off exercise your calf. Daughter ended up getting 2 blood clots in her calf. Take care and much love coming your way
Oh, I still for sure have a long time yet to spend in the boot! I’ve definitely been trying to do some stretching/light exercising on the rest of my leg when I realized I’ve already lost most of the muscle in it. Hope your daughter is doing better!!
I remember one time I fasted on grapes for 40 days and then switched to water only for 8 days and I had an old injury in my leg from ten years earlier finish healing up. I got real painful to where it was hard to walk for two weeks or so but then it was like new. It was from a wood block hitting me in the shin. A truck was backing up and I was standing beside it and the edge of the steer tire caught the wood block just enough to make it shoot out like a bullet. I must've broke it and didn't really know it at the time, I never went to the doctor.
Same thing happened to my knuckle on my hand during a 8 day water fast, I must've broke it and didn't know and then it healed up like new again. I can see why people freak out during a fast and end it cuz a bunch of old injuries start hurting like hell but that's cuz it's the first time your body's had a real chance to fully heal it.
I am so happy for you and the fact things are getting back a more normal way of life. Congratulations on the healing, and we will pray for an even better report next doc's visit. Stay safe.
Erin remember this is a slow process and it seems like a long time to heal. Take it slow and let it heal, your young and you have a lot of life left to kick up your heels . It's great news, stay safe and you will be back soon enough 👍
please take it easy and heal , several years ago i was in a bad crash and woke up a few days later to find that my daughter went to heaven , and my left leg from the ankle down had divorced me and moved out, you got this it just takes time to heal
Nice one Erin. If you sit on something like a table, with the top half of your leg supported and gently swing the bottom half of your legs in and out, it will greatly help with the stiffness of your knees. Best wishes
Good to see you Miss Erin. I've been wondering how you've been. I know the healing process can be frustrating, especially to an energetic girl like you, but continue to stay the course. Also, kudos to the surgeon for being patient and seeing if your foot will heal without surgery. Most surgeons are very eager to cut without giving the body time to take care of itself.
Good to hear you're improving Erin, is somebody old enough to be your dad I can tell you I've learned over the years listen to what the doctor tells you it's never fun for a farmer to be down or even partially so but I've learned pay attention to what they tell you try to adhere to their instructions and you'll heal faster. Not a farmer I know that doesn't think he's indispensable until something like this happens and we find out the work will get done, and the better we pay attention to doctor's orders the quicker we can get back to our work. Take care!
Your definition of a half day ( 7 or 8 hours) reminds of the half days when I was a Produce Buyer for Meijer were 6:00 am to 6:00 pm! Glad your on the road to recovery slow and steady.
There’s our Erin !!! Stay upbeat, positive and stay “ in the fight” ! Okay to give in once in awhile , but never, ever give up ! You are a proud American Farm Girl( woman), and I thank you for the inclusive update without any pity-seeking talk, or “ woe is me” whining. You’re tough where it counts. And yet, you still have that inner-beauty that your wonderful smile brings to this world ! Truly lights up my day ! Now that I have had my “ Erin fix” , ready for the world !! Glad you’re on the road to health ! God Bless you and yours.
Try “aspercreme” when they are sore in the morning. It’s a topical creme. I use is on my broken wrist and knees and back. It dulls the pain. Doesn’t completely take the pain away, but it dulls it!
That's very good, & encouraging news Erin. Hang in there little lady. You are absolutely going to beat this. You are absolutely the best. Your fans are praying for your healing 💯%. We support you to the max. Have a beautiful week ma'am. God bless you and your family.
That's better news then, oh let's start cutting. The hardest part to recovery is listening to the doctor. Been there done that. Get well soon and God bless.
So glad for no surgery, and to see you’re able to get around a little better! Take it slllloooowwww! You could easily reinsure it if you’re not cautious!
Continued prayers as you recover. Happy to hear that you had a good report. Your positive attitude as you go through this injury is refreshing and uplifting for those who aren't going through as hard a time as you are right now.
Get Well. Be careful of arthritis. I have broken one foot in half and fractured the other. Now I have arthritis in my big toes. Always be moving is an outstanding credo.
Glad to hear it! Seems like you're being smart and cautious of your recovery. You didn't break your sweet, spunky personality. Awesome!! Best of healing luck!!!
You should get some cross country training skies and a 2nd boot....🤣 glad you're putting your best foot forward. Stepping up as much as possible...I provide the sarcasm and puns in this comment section and I take my job super seriously. I don't play footsie with my duties....😇
That I'D FARM THAT T-SHIRT she is wearing is a classic. That is way more classy than what we say in the north. Which is that girl has being plowed more times then the family farm.
So glad you're doing better. Could have been worse. Stay tough. I had a stroke the end of September. Could have been worse. I have a new hobby called therapy. Occupational therapy. Physical therapy. Speech therapy. They expect a full recovery. It just takes time. Do as your told. God sometimes smacks you up side the head to get your attention.
Its ok Erin dont worry if you can't get back to people your farming and you have an injury you take the time you need harvest is a busy time. Best wishes hope you have a meet and Greet in the future
Good to see you are on the mend Erin be no time at all be back to normal 🤞🤞 Changed the wheels on sprayer other day to flotations from row crop was extra careful ..............esp after seeing your unfortunate accident . All the best from a blustery UK .Cheers 🍻🍻
Glad to see you doing better. I broke my foot this spring right before calving. Find you a good chiropractor to keep your back ajusted walking lopsided will throw it out of wack and help you heal.
Nice to hear the good news Erin. Best wishes from Prince Edward Island, Canada for continued recovery. Keep up that positive attitude and wonderful smile!!
Hi Erin good news i thank god for your quick recovery when your boot comes of try to go swimming when i got run over my doctor said swimming is good for taking the weight of your joints take care and keep on smiling
Hello Erin, I'm only about 3:00 into the video at this typing. With the 'boot' on your left foot, be certain to obtain a "level up" device for the other side so it doesn't harm your back! The level up devices come in a variety of thicknesses to make up for the boot on the other side. Take care, be safe out there! Ken
Have the surgery and make sure it heals right. I broke my collar bone. The doctor strung me a long for a few checkups before he said it didn't matter if it healed or not, I'm not an athlete so I didn't need surgery. Whenever I wear a backpack or my fireman's turnout gear it gets sore. Too late to do anything about it now, but I wish I would have had surgery and had it set in place.
Good to see you again and good to hear you are doing better. Keep moving, which is always good, but don't overdo it. Take it easy and you'll be fine. Stay safe.
Nice to hear from ya. Hopefully things go good for ya. Don’t over due it that’s where I screwed up and didn’t listen that’s why it took 3 years to get my shattered elbow back to somewhat normal
Glad to hear U R gaining ground Mz.Erin, give it to all the time it needs to heal proper. U only have one chance to do that & it's now. God Bless & that's one cool shirt. :-)
