What does Tova learn about her ankle injury when she goes to see Dr. Remy?

Tova goes to see Dr. Remy about his ankle injury. He puts her ankle in a molded-plastic boot that he wants her to wear for six weeks--six weeks that she will not be able to work in her garden or work at the aquarium. Dr. Remy also took a bone density test and told her that returning to work might not be advisable.
