I shattered my heel in 2005. I was in a cast for 12 weeks and a walking boot for six. I went to physical therapy for a year. Was back to work when I went in the walking boot. Still have some issues but I deal with it. I aint getting no younger and still do everything I did before just a little slower.

I had screws put in and a pin and had someone elses bone added. Looking back it wasnt horrible but I did get frustrated alot. Just at things not going as quickly as I wanted. Just go slow and listen to your Dr.
