Broken foot
I broke my foot. A spiral fracture to the 5th metatarsal. It hurt like hell. Tues. night/Wed.morning about 1am I went downstairs. We have 13 steps upstairs to downstairs and then a platform. Then on one side 3 steps to go into the kitchen and 3 on the other side going into the living. I was going into the kitchen. I count those 3 steps because it was dark and they are a little slippery.
WELL! I forgot how to count. What I THOUGHT was 3 steps wasn't. It was 2 and then I fell down the last one breaking my foot. I crawled back up they steps. I sat on my bed for a few minutes and then called for the hubby. He didn't come so I went in his room. I told him I think I broke my foot and he told me to get in bed. I was like WTF???? I came to my room and got in bed and he looked for swelling and bruising. He said he seen none. I was ok. I said whatever. It hurts like hell. We elevated it and I took some meds and off to sleep.
This morning I still couldn't walk on it. It hurt like heck. The hubby told me it wasn't broken. I probably just pulled some tendons or something. It wasn't swollen enough or bruised so I was fine. I just left it at that for the most part.
I had a friend take me to the ER and didn't tell hubby. I KNEW it was broke. It hurt to much not to be. The ONLY good thing is I could tell him I was right and he was wrong.
This is just a bad time for it to happen. Kassie's b-day party is Sunday. Her bday is tomorrow (14th). She is so excited. I got her gift to have on her birthday. Most of her presents are for the party.. She is not happy about it but I think she is accepting it really well. She will ask about her party and I tell her she has a few days until it.
My sister boyfriend is making the cakes. His grandmother taught him. He is making two cakes. One is a 3-d style castle cake. The other is a 3-d Dora cake. She is going to love it. We rented a moon bounce.
Anyhow.....off to bed. Pain meds aren't helping much at all. I took some I had from before so I could sleep. I still have a soft cast on. Not having insurance sucks. I am really leaning on not going to the orthopedic surgeon for the permanent cast I am supposed to be getting. I will have to wait and see.
