My left foot!

[david p]

There's still no word about the results of the x-rays yet. I'm hoping to hear today or maybe over the weekend. The doctors don't work that fast! LOL!

[Karen]

I would call every half hour today. The X-ray has been done, someone just needs to look at it, and it is better to know sooner rather than later in case something further needs to be done. Be persistent and your own best advocate. After all, if you were a major league pitcher, you know you'd have the results within minutes ...

Stay on them about it, David! Some years ago I broke the toe next to my big toe when I smashed it against the door frame. Doc didn't order an x-ray, and said there wasn't much to do other than to tape it to the other toes and wear loose fitting shoes for a few weeks. Since it was springtime, I just wore sandals and continued that thru the summer. Trouble is, when the weather cooled and I had to put a shoe on, it was so painful that I could barely stand the shoe for more than an hour or so. Come to find out - the break never healed, and I had to have 2 pins surgically implanted in my toe. Don't let it get to that!!! Keep calling till you get an answer, and if you have to be a PITA - then be one!

Pomtzu, since the doctors are here in my facility here at Concordia, I'm keeping on their collective butts to find out what's happening!

Well that's even better. You can be a PITA in person!!!

[Randi]

Sending good thoughts that nothing is broken and your foot will get better. Take care!

Agree agree agree. This is me being PItA insurance nurse. You need to know today. It is Friday afternoon. You need those results.

Alright! (cue the halleujah chorus!) There are no bones broken in my foot! There still is some swelling and that black and blue mark to go down yet, but that's one worry I don't have to have. My nightlight works again (also known as a lava lamp) so now I have no excuse!

[Karen]

Thank goodness! Still keep it elevated and keep an eye on it, but we are glad for your sake that there are no broken bones. Feet have so many bones, and are of course furthest away from the heart, so everything takes seemingly forever to heal!

Karen, I'll still keep an eye on my foot (a pretty good trick if I could do it!). I'll still rest it a lot and try to stay off of it (if I can). A cane helps.

[pomtzu]

Glad to hear it's not broken. A broken anything really sucks! Just stay off it as much as possible for as long as you can, and watch for nightstands that jump out at you in the dark!!!

Yay!

[david p]

My foot is doing great. The swelling is going down and there's only a little bit of black and blue mark left. I still keep it propped up up when I can, but my foot is much better!

[Alysser]

Those nightstands really do have a mind of their own! My Dad's friend fell over something in the dark and had to get stitches because of he hit the corner of the night stand with his bald head

Anyways, glad you're okay!! I hope the swelling goes down soon.
