Melissa in Australia Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 We are in emergency waiting for results. Poor twin 1 dropped a trailer tail gate on the same foot he had surgery on 3 months ago. We went to the local hospital and were seen by a GP. Then had to drive 100km to the closest hospital with an xray. Suspected broken foot. 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa in Australia Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 The foot is broken, a buckle break. He is back in a wheelchair, non weight baring poor kid, he was so excited to be out of the wheelchair, then waited so patently for DH to have his overseas trip so he could go to the beach again. sigh 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Poor kid! Big virtual hugs if he wants one. Do beaches in Australia have rental stands? I know some of the US ones we've been to have water/sand wheelchairs available to rent. He would need something to protect the cast/splint, so he doesn't get it soaked and sandy (maybe his Ortho would have an idea?) , but that might let him regain some of the beach, at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa in Australia Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 They didn't put a cast on him, but rather feel the AFO is giving his foot enough support for this particular break. He is one of those very sweaty kids and gets terrable fungal infections on his feet. The AFO will be a bit cooler and will allow for washing. Especially as it is very warm here now. Today is going to be 39oC 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
