Before I left for that appointment my right foot fell asleep, I tried to stand on it, went down, heard a frightening popping sound but felt alright and walked around until my appointment.
After my tooth appointment the foot began to hurt and swell, then it occurred to me it might be broken. Sure enough it was and we spend a couple of hours at the nurses station in the Urgent Care facility.
I now have a boot on my foot to immobilize it until I see the Orthopedic surgeon. They are suppose to call today to make an appointment. They may be putting me in a cast, I've never had a cast before so here we go another learning adventure.
Yep, never walked on crutches before, not nearly as easy as those young people make it look. My husband follows me around fearful that I will make another tumble on them. LOL I am laughing because the fall was ridiculous, this is the third time I have fallen and broken something in the past five years. Disks in my deck had to be replaced because of a fall off of a ladder, my rib was cracked because I slipped on gasoline in the garage that I spilled. Then there was the sleeping foot incident yesterday.
This time I will have to be hobbling on crutches for about six weeks, ugh! I like to keep busy so I guess it will have to be crochet for me.
I must say though that I am grateful to God that all these things are fixable and in a few weeks I will return to normal, Lord willing.
The joke I say to my husband is that the devil is continually pushing me down for no reason.
John 16:33 "33 I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”
My praise today to God is for His provision of very good health care in our country. Yes, some things only God can fix, other things He uses our medical industry to help us. I praise Him for His provision.
