I want to thank everybody for their help and advice. I did get a boot and it helps. I will be going to the doctor on January 10,2012 for another xray to see how the bone is healing. If anybody else has any other advice on what to take or drink to make my healing process faster I would appreciate it. I do miss shopping more that walking.

Hello Diana,


You need to increase your protein intake to speed healing. If you are taking any NSAIDs, you may want to discontinue for a few weeks. If you smoke, cutting back or quitting will make a lot of difference in the healing time. It looks like Goose and I both have been there.


Good luck.
Millard
