Wellington Orthopedic Gives Good News

I went to Wellington Orthopedic in Anderson today to check on my ankle that I was told was broken. Of course, since I found this out, I dropped a bunch of 18×18″ vinyl tiles on the top of said foot making it look just horrible!

I had to explain what happened that brought me there and WHY my foot looked like that if not for the reason that I was there. Ugh! I asked if he could put a really hard cast on it so that nothing else could happen to it. 🙂

Anyway,

Yeah! My foot is broken. OK, so that’s NOT the good news. It’s a clean break, I can walk on it or do whatever I need to do according to my pain level but no cast. Come back in 2-3 weeks to make sure it healed well.

Note to ‘the boy’ STOP STEPPING ON MOMMIES FOOT! Pretty please sweet boy….

Don’t Forget Your Flu Shot

And, oh my aching foot!

It’s definitely flu season as proved by my flights lately. In fact, I need to get back to CVS and get some more supplies. I did get my flu shot when i went to my doctors appointment yesterday. Now, my arm feels like someone punched me really, really hard! Before the nurse gave me the shot, she mentioned that she was the only one whose arm didn’t hurt. I told her that I wanted the woman who gave HER the shot. Unfortunately, that nurse wasn’t there yesterday. Or so she says! Actually, I think it’s just me. It feels like deja vu and in fact happens every time. There’s a little red dot with surrounding swelling.

Of course, I was at the doctors office because it has been two weeks at least since I fell and my foot still really hurts. Dr. Shockley checked it out and wants me to get an MRI. Apparently right where it hurts is where the ligaments connect and since I am on Prednisone, I am more prone to weak ones. Hopefully, the worst it will be is slightly torn for which physical therapy can help.  I will have to let you know.

Anyone else run in to this dilemma before and what did you do about it?
