Good news - after visiting the Fracture clinic yesterday I have now been given a boot which I can walk in which means I am much more mobile than on the crutches. He wiggled my foot around a lot and there was very little pain so he thinks it is healing well. I knew it was a good idea to borrow Wayne's oxygen tent!
I asked the ortho guy about skiing in Feb and he seems to think it will be ok - for the reasons stated by Wickers & Far Queue that the ski boot will support it - he will let me know for certain in two weeks time when I go back and hopefully will be boot free :D
Thanks for the tip about the Gluwein Dave Mac - I will be sure to take that one up!
A very bored PSC :roll:

PSC, this is excellent news, you must be feeling pretty positive right now 8) Just don't stress your foot between now and departure :D

normally a fracture takes 4 weeks sometimes a bit longer like 6 weeks but im sure you'll be fine for youre skiing holiday + skiboots are hard so they are probably even better than normal shoes ;)

good news :thumbup:
I had some strange unexplained problem with my big toe one year and was really worried about skiing. As soon as I put my boots on, what with the moulding and the hard shell, the problem was completely forgotten about. Fingers crossed for you.

Thanks for your messages of support Ladies - I am walking on it fine now with what feels like a ski boot on it so skiing in 4 weeks should be ok :thumbup:
Lets hope that us jet2skiers start to have a run of "Good Luck" for the rest of the season!
