Rob, When my cast went on they told me 6 weeks too. But my next appointment was in 3 weeks and he took it off then. When do you go back? Staples huh? I never had those..but I told ya, when they took my stitches out ooooowwwwwie.
Mine was half off the heel and it took a chunk of bone with it and the other half broke above the heel. Mine looks and feels good. It's still weak and slightly swollen still at the internally stitched area. I'm taking some steps here and there without the boot [:-]. But a week from today I should be done with the boot. So I'm not really rushing anything.

Hope you got a shower witth those corner seats. Man that's a pain. Double garbage bag and a couple good rubber bands.

I hope your recovery goes as well as mine and your schedule gets bumped up. What the heck would we have done without our wives.My mother-in-law even brought me a bell in case I needed anything I could ring it for Lori....My wife, looked at her mom, and said, "What the hell were you thinking?" lol But she was a saint through the whole ordeal. We played alot of scrabble!
