I may have broken my foot update...I can walk again!

[carole]

Oh dear poor you, i hope you are recovering well and not in too much pain, take care and i hope you heal up soon.

Its been an upsetting day, the orthopedic surgeon said this injury to my foot could be life changing. The joint in the middle of the foot is all destroyed. I will have surgery tuesday to place three screws in my foot.

I am out of work for at least two months, I did just start in a new job, although its all with the state so I should be okay.

The doc said if I had a job that required me to be on my feet I would most likely have to retire.

I don't know how I am going to manage being totally reliant on my husband. This is going to be hell but if I mess up the screws then my ability to walk will be jeapordized...this just sucks.

I had an ekg and blood work to prepare for the surgery and got what they call a splint but for all intents and purposes its a cast up to my knee.

Oh! I am so sorry to hear the injury is so bad! I broke bones in my feet twice - high school and college freshman -- p.e. class both times - but I had the advantage of youth and a not too bad break on my side.

The pain of foot surgery is out of proportion. I have had a few. Be sure and get pain relief. And take it.

I will think good thoughts for you.

That just sucks! This time last year I broke my leg walking Sunny and it ruined my summer. I hope you have a quick, uneventful surgery and heal up well and fast! Rent lots of good movies and let yourself be babied for a while

[Medusa]

Oh I'm so sorry about this. Your saving grace is having your husband there w/you, at least. Prayers going up that you'll heal quickly and easily and that you'll have the best pain meds ever!

[moosmom]

Oh Honey I feel your pain. I broke my foot quite a few years ago and it was no walk in the park (pun intended). I hope you feel better and will light a candle for you.

Love and hugs,

Donna and fur crew

I am so sorry to hear this. If you can after your surgery, just take a moment at a time - instead of making yourself nuts over all of the things that you want to do.

Foot pain is the worst - so be sure to accept the pain medication that they offer you.

You have my prayers for a speedy recovery.

I'm so sorry to hear this. That sounds very painful. I hope you are able to recover as fast as possible.

[Taz_Zoee]

OH no! I am so sorry. Well, as difficult as it may be, please let your husband take care of you and rest up. You don't want to jeopardize your ability to walk.

[Killearn Kitties]

I'm really sorry to hear that you have given yourself such a bad break. It sounds awful.
You do as you're told now, and give it the best chance of healing properly!

[ramanth]

I am so sorry it is broken so severely.

Prayers for a quick and successful surgery.

[Moesha]

Oh dear! What terrible news. As others have said, and I'm sure you are determined to do, just follow doctor's orders as closely as possible. It sounds like a difficult and serious break. I hope you heal up well.

[caseysmom]

Thanks everyone, I corrected my last note...I mean to say I am out for at least two MONTHS not two weeks....ugh

The doc gave me some strong vicodin, lifes's good hehe. Apparantly motrin is not good to take before surgery.

[Catty1]

Oh OWWW...

Since you work for the state, hopefully you can get work that won't involve being on your feet a lot?

Prayers for a fast and better-than-expected recovery.

[carole]

oh my gosh, poor you, that is just awful news to get, i really hope the surgery goes well and you can get back to some sort of normality as soon as possible, be thinking of you and wishing you a very speedy recovery and let that man of your's take really good care of you,and get well soon.
