Re: Shattered Heel (calcaneus)

Chelsea,
I am not a doctor or medical professional but I thought I might add a little since I had a similar injury 2 years ago. (Crushed my heel, ankle, and navicular bones) When you are able to wear shoes again you may find them difficult or painful to wear, especially when trying to walk. I just wanted to mention that I found hiking shoes and sneakers to be the easiest to wear. The only thing I could wear in sandals comfortably was Teva's Wraptor sandals which you can order from L.L.Bean. Even now I have some trouble with most other kinds of shoes. Good luck with your healing it takes awhile but you have overcome a lot already so I am sure you will do great. Stay strong and keep your spirits up. We are all rooting for you.
