Going Out After Foot Surgery

A week after having my stitches out and my full cast put on, two of my friends offered me a trip out to a local big garden centre for coffee. I accepted.

I used my crutches to get down the steps and they kindly transported my leg caddy for me. Once we got to the garden centre, I used my crutches to balance while I got out of the car, but then they stayed in. I was able to scoot to the front door and round the shop.

It was really great to get out. I spent a little too much money and enjoyed coffee and a cake at the coffee shop. We enjoyed looking round the plants.

It was good to get out. It took a little planning and it helped that one of my friends spent last year in plaster, so she understood a little more about it. When I got back home, my good foot was aching from the effort, but it was worth it!
