I Have Injuries

Another injury for the books...kinda have to laugh...I fall a foot to the ground & actually break my foot/ankle!! Sober too! Smh I see an Orthopedic doctor tomorrow and find out what they're going to do for it. The two bones that run down your shin, into your foot? Those broke. Weird though, it doesn't really ache or hurt, but swelled a lot and bruised on the inside of my ankle. I won't let it keep me down for long though!

@joediamond You would think so! It did when I first fell. Took my breath away. Then it stopped hurting and was an ache. I got helped to the front porch and crawled into the house lol made it to the sofa and got ice on it. My poor right leg is actually aching more than my damn broken ankle because it's having to compensate! I find it strange it doesn't hurt ....very strange.

@Wolfdancer I remember when I stepped down off of a skid steer loader one time onto a piece of cardboard,and ended up fracturing my foot.I heard my bones crunch at first,then it started throbbing,then my body started shaking from shock,but after awhile it didn't hurt as much.The doctor told me it was just a hairline fracture.

@Wolfdancer I hope for your sake that it's not fractured that bad,and that you will be back dancing with the wolves in no time.Lol

There ya go. This is my last night before I see the Orthopedic in the morning. I got a lame split from ER and figured this be my last night for my foot to breathe, so I unwrapped it to ice it. It's more swollen now than it ever was, but then I'm not in major pain so far so I been doing things about the house lol All I got to say is he's putting me in a water proof cast and one that lets me walk I hope. water proof a must but either way its still not going to stop me from much of what I do in the summer months lmao! I also learned today its the same Dr. that I had when I broke the other ankle and needed surgery...maybe 15+ years ago now.

@joediamond Looks worse than what it feels and lets hope the Orthopedic Dr. says the same thing this morning!
