My FMIL fell & broke her ankle 2 months ago. She's in an air cast after getting the hard one removed (she had to have surgery w/pins and a plate- it was broken in 3 spots). She didn't keep her foot elevated enough or high enough and has a LOT of residual swelling & pain (the doc wouldn't even schedule physical therapy for her until the swelling goes down). She's not supposed to put weight on her ankle yet somehow thinks in less than 3wks she'll be well enough for a mother-son dance. I took off Friday to take her for her fitting & other errands and that was really hard for her- ankle much more swollen and purple.
Does anyone have any ideas for an alternative to a dance??? She does have a wheelchair and walker, but I know she'll be caught dead before being in either (she JUST now accepted the fact she won't be wearing heels for the wedding) yet somehow hopes she'll be driving by then. HELP!!
