I had a boot I had to wear for 4 weeks back in 2001.

it all depends on what sort of foot fracture. I had a minor stress fracture between 3-4th metatarsals - which is a pretty common injury - and I walked around on it for a couple of weeks until it swelled up and saw the podiatrist. I managed with the boot - although a hard soled shoe is also a reasonable accommodation.

Depending on the physicality of the role, one would think he could perform (although a walking cast might not be period correct)...but I guess we don't know the extent of his injury...sounds like it was a hard trip.

I'm guessing Parson's people don't read the boards -- but if they do - send him over to see either one of the foot guys at HSS....both deal extensively with performers and athletes.

Right, because I'm sure that Parsons and his people have just been waiting on edge for medical advice from an anonymous theater chat room!

No need to be nasty. I was way more interested in what sort of fracture and how long he would be out.

we should have started this thread on saturday when the performance was cancelled so he could get the medical advice quickly. ;-)

and Reagan was President.

My fracture was a lot more recent (and I misdiagnosed myself with a sprain, slapped on an ACE bandage & walked on it for too long, lol)
