Humph!

I am now sitting with a fracture splint on my left foot until next weeks bone scan is done. Podiatrist thinks when the conditioner bottle fell on my foot that I ended up with a stress fracture. He said that could of happened when I walked on the foot. He can't understand why I didn't come in when it happened. I told him I figured it was just soft tissue damage. It didn't swell, just turned an ugly color.

You know I lose track of time. I thought it was last week, nope the week before. I still wouldn't have gone in if it wasn't for the pain in the heel. He wouldn't do anything about the heel because he wants to see what is going on with the top of my foot first.

I bet his technican a Luby's lunch that it isn't fractured. Daughter can't believe I choose Luby's. Hey it is close to the doctor's office and they have good food. Or did last time I was in.

I gotta figure out how to spend three hours between injecting the dye and the scan. I don't want to drive all the way back home. Daughter's apartment is closer. Maybe she'll let me go nap there.

Today the pool is going to be so hard as I need to get my foot up to put the splint on. You slide your foot in from the front. Otherwise it is way too much bending. Wil said just don't wear it to the pool. Well that defeats the purpose of having it.

Edit: I didn't get to the pool. I zonked out on the couch. Guess the leg/foot cramps at 3 a.m. wore me out. I'm thinking the splint is heavier than the muscles in my leg are used too.

No Maggie I didn't ask for pain meds. The worse was two weeks ago when I couldn't get a shoe on it. The heel pain will probably have to be injected if it doesn't resolve itself. Heck that is the only reason I went to the doctor in the first place.
