Question: My wife and I have been planning a 3-week self driving tour for the past year of Israel, XXXXXXX and a final stop in Istanbul beginning on 4/12.

Unfortunately, i fractured my fibula yesterday morning, was X-rayed and was referred to an Orthopedic Specialist with the following diagnosis (fracture of the left fibula shaft--823.21) and (Sprain, Syndesmosis--845.03). I was giving a Non Weight Bearing boot to wear. Just had an MRI for the Sprain, Syndesmosis and am waiting to hear back from the Ortho. Probably no damgage to the ligaments...just wanted to be sure.

You can not imagine my disappointment about the thought of canceling our trip which would require a lot walking, etc.

I do have trip insurance.

Any thoughts or suggestions with regards to my ability to travel would be appreciated.Unfortunately, both the X-Rays and MRI results can not be opened with my Mac OS

Thanks

Dear Dr XXXXXXX

Thank you for the response.

Unfortunately, we were already to leave next week for our 3-week trip. Based upon your email, we will cancel our trip for another time.
