    If it is too sore to work out, can you just keep your calories to the min 1200 and see how that goes? Then you can always pick it up again when the cast comes off. :ohwell:

    NO NO NO NO
    do not wait 4 weeks to do something....there is alot you can do
    ask the Doc who put the cast on for limitations research on the web

    DO NOT JUST SIT

    a couple weeks into my broken ankle, I was riding horses and (because of the situation) running up and down the hills in Atlanta - we went to the Olympics for 10 days. If I could do it - you can do it. Just wait til the doctor says you can ... don't hurt yourself more ... and kick some butt!! :drinker:
