So on Monday, in the morning, I was getting out of the shower and I lost my balance for absolutely no reason. Somehow I ended up doing like a pirouette, with all of my weight on my two end toes and the very ball & edge of my outer right foot.
I felt/heard a snap, crackle, pop and immediately saw bruising begin to form. I taped little toe to next toe to restrict movement & like brace it and carried on. I did not go to the doc immediately because I already have pain meds with anti-inflammatory, a hard shoe from last recent foot break and a cane I use regularly. Did not want to go to the doc just to waste time when my foot was already hurting so much.
Finally went to ortho yesterday because swelling & bruising was worsening and my mom & sister were concerned by updated pics I was sending. Doc says yep, foot and toe are broken, but, nope not much else they can do as I wore in hard shoe, have a cane & meds. If I got walking foot brace or cast, pressure would be on the lump on top of my foot, so I was like, no. I am supposed to stay off it for six weeks and that is that.
This morning I do have one appt I could not afford to cancel with digestive disease doc to see about esophageal stretching for my throat again. The one I had earlier this year worked great but symptoms of being unable to swallow and/or pain plus choking on food are returning so may go bigger this time but that has more risks. Today is to assess and discuss.
When I make a Donuts thread, after posting I always feel that my posts are way too wordy so I need to go back to condense and reword things. I find that I use the word "so" quite a lot and always have to find a better way to start & continue sentences. Please forgive my scattered and sprawling thoughts.
Hope everyone is doing well with work, home, family, social life, making moves and everything in between. I am always reading but do not post here as much anymore because my health does not permit. I am excited that I have been able to be more active in the forum once again because you all are just great.
Good morning to everyone!
