YE OL' FOOT

It's been SIX WEEKS since I broke my foot now. I've been bearing weight on it for about a week and a half now. My forefoot has been securely taped for two weeks for extra support.
I went in today for my x rays to see where this stubborn bone is going...well... it's gone NOWHERE. Nothings calcified, bonded, moved, healed...NOTHING!! The GAP between to pieces is still open and I still have the bone chip above it. Nothing has changed.
So, why after SIX WEEKS? WEll, there' several factors. Some are; the 5Th Metatarsal bone gets very poor blood circulation, thus slowing down the healing process. This bone is a weight bearing bone; it takes alot of strain. And the break is a pretty tricky break. It's clean but broken really funky. It's like if you tried to snap a stick in half but it snapped diagonally from the bottom and hanging by a few strands.
We'll see how it goes in a few weeks. Either I'll be taped and booted for a while, or I'll have to get surgery...I don't think it'll happen though.
Please kids, be careful when you SKIP! haha!

This is getting old...

I've been doing partial weight baring on my foot and guess what folks...Soosie paid for it all last night.
So, I texted my doctor and gave him the 411. He called for more narcotics and said no more weight.

I'm back on using both crutches again!! WHEN IS THIS GOING TO BE OVER???
GRR!!
Atleast I"l be able to sleep better tonight, now I've gone pain killers that'll acutally WORK!

This, my friends, is getting old!

I did manage to hobble to chuch today!

Thanks friends...

Yes, that's not the lighting. My foot is green.I have purple bruising on the bottom of my foot as well.
My daily attitude
My 'ski' boot I'll be in for the next 6 weeks.
MY DEAR FRIEND KAMIE sent me these DAISIES! Aren't they pretty!

Thanks to all of my friends who have been so supportive during my immobility!
Now, it's off fo more Vicodin!...Ha, Gotchya!

What an APRIL FOOLS...

I BROKE MY FOOT ON APRIL FOOLS DAY!!!!

I'm not fooling either!!!!

I was teaching my hip hop class to my 8 year olds. I was showing them how they needed to skip in their dance, over did the skip and rolled on my rigth foot as I landed! All you heard was a big 'CRACK'!!! I though I just twisted it. So I stood up to walk it out and I couldn't walk on it!! Then I tried again and it was worse!

I started getting sweaty and nauseous...then I knew something was up. But was still in denial up until the doctor told me I broke it! I laughed when it happened but of course, was in alot of pain! It was pretty strange! Of all things, I BREAK my foot (The 5th Metatarsal bone, to be exact) SKIPPING!! SKIPPING, and I'm a dancer! I've never broken a bone up until now!

So, my Podiatrist said is not a very good break but it could be much worse. I'll be on crutches for the next 3 weeks and in a boot cast for 6-8 weeks! I wont be able to bare weight on it for a month!!!! Mind you, I have two small children, I can't drive and I have to walk up 3 flights of stairs to get to my house!

We'll see how this all works out..... Let's pray it does!

Gosh darnit!! I'm so irritated about it! GRRRRR!!!!!!!
