Oops, I did it again

Last year on our trip to Washington, we went to meet Bryan's grandmother and Aunt for the first time. After we checked in to our hotel, we went to the car and I switched places with his grandmother for me to sit in the front. As I stepped off the curb out of her way, I fell off the curb which resulted in a broken foot.

6 weeks later, I got my Air Cast off and broke the other foot the next day. The doctor suggested physical therapy to strengthen the muscles but I really did not pay any mind to it, thinking it was a string of bad luck. Well, this weekend we went to my sister's house for the night. Bryan went to bed before me, and about 10 minutes later I grabbed the dog and headed downstairs. I did not turn the light on so I misjudged the steps and my ankle went before I did. Lots of pain ensued, but I thought maybe I just sprained my ankle. I went to bed and did not sleep well because of the pain. It swelled up and is bruised but I did not plan on going to the doctor knowing how much it would cost since we have not met our deductible yet. But Bryan said I should go, so I drove to the Urgent Care and they take me right away. I see the nurse, I see the doctor and then I get my X rays. The radiologist tells me it is broken which is strange since I have never had anyone tell me the results right away. She said she is not sure if it is the break from last year-I do not think it is because it had calcified and was gone on the last X ray. I am pretty sure this is new. I wait and wait and wait some more to see the doctor. They tell me he is reading it. Um, the lady already read it, just give me the final verdict. He takes over an hour. I read 2 magazines, play Wheel of Fortune, Skee Ball and Scramble on my phone. I look over at the calendar and it a picture from Bellingham, Washington-the first place I broke my foot. Ironic. He tells me it is broken, I need a boot and crutches. I tell him that won't happen until later on since I live 1.5 hours away and I am not paying for a new boot when I have one at home. He says to get something on it right away. I don't listen :)

When we got home, Bryan offered to take the boys to Target and get the pain meds they prescribed. I am worried that it will be a lot of money, and worried it will make me sick as most pain meds do. I can't have percocet or Oxy Cotin-makes me so sick. They give me Vicodin which I am worried about, but thankfully no sickness and it made the foot feel better. Probably too good since I was walking around on it, not using the crutches or the boot. Today it felt good but now it really hurts again. I had the boot off and was icing it and elevating it. Bryan asked me why the boot was not on. I did not see the point of having it on when I am just sitting down. He was not too pleased with that so it is back on.

I hope to get an appointment with the Ortho tomorrow or Tuesday. Fingers crossed. I need them to look at the X rays from last time to compare them. I kind of would like a real cast so I could have more support but we will see what they say. At least now I wont feel bad for not going to the gym. I also can sit on the couch and watch my DVR without feeling bad. I can get caught up on emails and my blog. Yay!  Maybe throw in some scrapbooking if I get wild and crazy.

The boys are in Florida for a week. I had big plans of getting rid of stuff and moving things over here from the town home. That does not look like it is going to happen. Oh well, nothing I can do about it!
