Apparently broke it on vacation at the Bahamas in July, thought I had a bad sprain on top of my foot thought I was toughing it out. Blamed the constant pain on shoes, age, the fact that I have one flat foot and one with an arch. Wasn't running or jumping really so I could look past the discomfort. Although Every other day saying to myself that "I've got to see the foot doctor"
Last Thursday I was dismounting from the boys pull up bar in the doorway landed (no slippers) and it felt like a bolt of lightning went through my foot. Immediately went right down and sat on my bum for at least 10 minutes trying to rack my brain with an explanation for anything other than a broken foot. Used a cane and the side of my foot right foot until I saw Dr. on Tuesday. X-Rays reveal its fractured. Of-course my wife is gone all week and not back until Tomorrow night, and the boys all though they try, and I love them -Useless, I raised them wrong.
I'm getting an MRI Monday. Would anyone share any experiences they may have had dealing with said type injury. Length, Healing info. Ways to cope while sleeping. Icing the hell out of it already. It would be nice to get a Novocain shot on the top of the foot to numb it.
I have Tylenol 3 here if it gets real bad and something called Gabapentin. He wanted to give me a strong narcotic. I said not with a million young adults running in and out of the house.
****Lesson Learned--Don't Procrastinate. Can't help but think I could have avoided some of this inconvenience.
On the bright side, is it possible to get a temporary handicap parking pass?
