So Sunday as I was making lunch after church, I went to grab a cutting board out of the cabinet. I pulled out a plastic cutting board. Unbenounced to me, a large wooden cutting board fell out as I pulled out the one I had in my hand. I was barefoot and the wooden cutting board landed right onto my right foot, just above my big toe.
It hurt like the dickens!
It swelled up and kept hurting. But I didn't think much of it, other than it was a pain. The kids and I were leaving for Tucson in just an hour to spend the week over there so that Logan and Hunter could attend U of A basketball camp the coming week. So no time to worry about a dumb foot/toe.
Well by Monday night it was aching a lot and I could not move my big toe at all. It was kind of strange so I decided to go ahead and take myself to an Urgent Care.
I got X-rays and.....
Sure enough I broke my foot!!! What the heck?!? Same foot same bone as the last time. Slight different area of the bone but still what are the odds. I have a couple of fractures on the head of the first metatarsal bone. So look like I get to wear this awesome shoe for the next 3-4 weeks.
The urgent care doctor was concerned that I might have severed my tendon. So I had to go see an orthopedic surgeon the following day. Oh what a mess that would have been. Luckily the reason I haven't been able to move my toe wasn't because of a severed tendon. The specialist thinks my toe is just traumatized and hurt that it doesn't want to move. It just needs time to heal!
At least he is going to let me stay in this shoe instead of that tall boot I had to wear last time.
I just think it's crazy the timing of this. It happened at home but I still ended up going to an urgent care out of town because of the timing. Oh I swear life is comical!
