		<description>Loved the original and all these great suggestions!  

You MUST post your pic here:
http://www.flickr.com/groups/casts/

:)

I didn't get pics of my last cast - it had been decorated by some artists while I was visiting a friend in the Santa Fe area.   Well, artists and patrons of the local watering hole a couple of nights later.  :)

And a coworker, not getting the opportunity to sign my cast, has taken to sticking labels and stickers on my boot.</description>

		<description>wow loved your artwork-especially impeaching Bush! :D loved the stitches. 

you know how prisoners sometimes draw lines on the wall to represent days spent in prison-maybe you could do that on your cast :D</description>

		<description>how about something that shows the finish line and you beating that backyard turtle?  I think the blog logo would be cool as Dennis said.  You inspire me to really let my 5 yr old niece Beadazzle my boot next weekend.</description>

		<description>Very funny! 

You were a tennis victim, right? How about a picture of a yellow ball and raquet with a circle around it and a slash through it?</description>

		<description>Mary, thanks for the kind words &#38; encouragement.  I do enjoy writing although I should categorize my blogging as "beginner's luck". lol

We've all experienced hell to some degree or another but I will say that this injury has opened my eyes (&#38; then some) to those who deal with permanent disabilities every single day.  My struggles during the past 4 weeks pale in comparison to others ... this has been a very humbling experience, to say the least.

I'll keep writing, perhaps not adding much value except an occasional smile or laugh ... which will make it worthwhile.  Cheers!</description>

		<description>Considering you're "not much of a blogger", your first entry is well-written, with a good feeling of keeping the reader snagged.  I used to consider myself a writer, but the blogging world out there shows me that my writing is nothing special, and others are far better, naturally, than me.  So even though many ATR people are competitive in sports, and indifferent to readers' rankings/approval of their scribblings, it could well be that writing becomes a new outlet for the rest of your life.  

Think about writing more, because if you do, then you become a better writer.  A great site to practice, aside from here , is www.epinions.com, where you get paid to write opinions on anything:  books, movies, restaurants, cities, products, etc. etc.  Every time someone finds and reads your reviews, you get a penny per read.  I have only earned $80 or so from this, but it's really great feedback:  people read what you write, then tell you what they think of your "epinion".  Good time filler if nothing else!

		<description>Wonderful contrast!  Also, I like your long, strong handsome leg.  Is the other one just the same?  We ATR victims seem to be mainly a sporty bunch, except me.

I'm on the plump side, and very white, so no pictures of my leg here!  Unless, mirabile dictu, I suddenly snap into great shape after months of this ATR... unlikely.</description>
