It's fractured

this morning I woke up and my foot was swollen all over, and black and blue. I stayed home from church, I don't know who taught for me. I called people last night to give a heads up, hoping that I would make it.

My mom came over during church and said I had to go to get an x-ray. I didn't think it was broken but finally said I would. She stayed with the kids and S drove me. She only has her permit and couldn't park in the small ER parking spaces so we had to park across the street in a garage. I sent her to get a wheelchair, I didn't think I could hop that far. She came back in a police car and we got a ride across the street. I had never been in the back of a police car before. I hope not to be again. It was actually a little embarrassing. We were at the hospital for about 6 hours. I had an x-ray which was inconclusive then a CT scan which showed a fracture on the tarsus. I had an old break as well that had healed but left a fragment. I didn't know I broke it before. Because of this the doctor is worried about how this will heal and if it's not doing well in a couple weeks I need to see an orthopedic surgeon. Too bad for us our favorite surgeon moved to Ohio a few weeks ago( and we miss them horribly.) S and I laughed a lot so that was fun. We played the connect the dots and make boxes game and tic-tack-toe and name that tune and any other game we could think of. S said she thought the nurses and doctors thought we were weird because whenever they came in we were cracking up.

So I will wear a boot for 4 weeks and have to keep off my feet (ROFLOL) and I have crutches. This is going to be fun.
Hopefully in a day or two I will be able to walk in the boot and can get back to pretty much "normal".

update: I just talked with my brother and my favorite doctor and have been advised to see an orthopedist sooner. Specifically Alec said it should be a none weight baring injury and I should be in a short cast for a month. I guess I'll call my doctor in a day or two and get a referral.
