I'm with Sheria - laughing my butt off. I would have done the exact same thing. I LOVE YOU!!

Nance, in answer to your question, I don't have issues loading TGB at home, but the Little Cuter can't get Mature Landscaping to load at work (to gaze lovingly at the compliment you have bestowed upon me!) without freezing her computer.

I wish I had an answer....perhaps we should ask the Elder Geek?!?

As much as I like Marc's approach (and I work with physicians) I'd first like to know what the problem actually was? Then you know whether the boot may be useful at some point down the road. I definitely think you were smart not to go with the uncompensated boot, or your hip would have been the next thing to go.

I do have a cowboy boot I could loan you next time but you'd probably need to stuff a couple of Sunday NYTs in there to take up the extra space.

On Sunday, a forty-something year-old friend here in NC stepped out of her truck onto her icy driveway and took a tumble. Broke her leg in three places.

Be careful out there.

Reese Witherspoon? IS that who you were thinking of? The little blonde gum popping thing?

I can't imagine why they would help you one little bit trying to return the boot after that pitiful display of intelligence smacking in the lower registers.

You could do a giveaway. Doesn't everybody want a hulking, heavy, black, awkward, (ugly-ass was it?) boot?

Loved this post!

Waste not, want not! Go for "a" while you can still recover for an undeserving penance. Your experience illustrates the need for health reform so well.

Or you can stuff it with lamb's ear, it will grow in anything but so will fungi and earwigs.

ps. i LOVE those tights!

So far, for my personal fashion statement, I'm loving the cowboy boot idea! I know a guy who hand-tooled Gov. Schwarzenegger a pair. He could tool me up a black pair with a replica of my boot cast on it and I'd be the toast of the block. Good'un, a/b!

I am getting the impression from your fabulous comments that there's nothing SPECIAL about my achilles tendon. Ya'll do know I'm special, don't you?

As far as the doc's ongoing fashion issues, Marc's suggestion is pretty hard to beat.

And don't let this little comment on the comments stop you from leaving your own. I know you're the most creative people on the entire Internet who also happen to be simultaneously reading the comments on my blog post at this moment, so I know you've got what it takes to weigh in with a suggestion...even a lame one (snork-chortle)!

Poor Nance. If you'd lived in Arizona (another Red State with a marginally educated citizenry and an abundance of retirees) you could have popped on your cowboy boot and been good to go. It was exactly the right height when I wore mine.

MY issue was that I hadn't gotten a pedicure before applying the boot -- 6 weeks of ugly toes were, therefore, my fate, here in the desert... because it was too hot to put on a sock.

And then there was the smell..... 6 weeks, 24/7 except for showering.... there was a spike in the Gold Bond foot powder business due just to li'l ole me!

I have a left boot... Shall I send it so that you have a pair? Everything would be even.

Glad you're feeling better...fun read :).

How funny. I'm glad I have retirement support here. And yes, I hurt myself without even moving. Love your blog. I'd get another boot and make a fashion statement.

I'm going to have to go with option B. Do they make spray pain in lavender? Surely they must.

I say you arrange for a rendezvous between Mr. Boot and Mr. Spray Paint and tell the doctor that no one will notice it hanging halfway out his ass when it so nicely matches his shirt and tie.

Just my two cents.

Ummm...Sheria her darling husband is a little off in the fashion department. We haven't experienced the platforms in awhile...I have been looking. Little 5'3" me could use them. Plus him telling Nanace to wear this type of shoe is equivalent to him asking her to wear a thong bikini...not gonna happen! :)
Nance-I am sorry for your pain, but better this than the rest of the completely aweful things that ravage the bodies of women your age. A tacky boot is probably highly preferable. :) Love ya!

I'm worn out from laughing. I'm sorry to have laughed at your pain! I'm impressed with your husband's knowledege of current fashion when it comes to platform flip flops. I think that you should auction the boot off on e-bay. You already have a lovely photo to post. I admit it; I'm still laughing. You are better than Erma Bombeck.

OK fellow followers, what's missing from The Boot? (Hint: 'this little piggy went to market...') Well, no one would accuse this lady with mindless compliance...especially when the directive is issued by an intelligence rivaling that of a sea cucumber.
