Health Update # 2.......I am still the crippled girl....
Have I mentioned that I dislike my bone specialist? or that I am totally going to get a new one? Ok...well now I mentioned it.......
Xrays...what xrays....... he didnt do any.........he feels that because the break was soo small......its healed and I needed no xrays...... *feels distrust for doctor*...
Basically....my entire foot is stiff, the bone almost feels like it will crack in half if I move it too much. So...I can......"walk" ahahaha! Now I can put my foot down...with the walking cast on...and use my crutches. So its walking............The doctor said I could ditch the crutches...but the walking cast makes my right leg 4 inches taller because the base of it is so thick...so even limping is dangerous its like *face plants into floor*..... I have to walk like this till Monday and then according to him I'll be fab and can use my air cast with my shoe and bam regular walking......................
Ok....that sounds too good to be true.......and my father confirmed it....he said to me "Yah.....it's likely you'll be in pain for a while, but physio will teach you to walk again.."
See the issue that makes my situation a little more tiresome...is that I broke the ankle in my "dominant" foot, which is the cause for my loss of balance...because suddenly I have to learn to walk with my right foot again.
The doctor didnt want to prescribed me physio.............I was really ready to beat him up..... he kept saying "You have to do this yourself, walk yourself, they cant do it for you" and I was bitchy and said "ARE THEY MAGICAL AND CAN WALK FOR ME ALL OF A SUDDEN? " I didnt flipping get it at all....till my dad explained that they will do exercises with my foot and move it around........ so I guess doctor man thinks im lazy and wouldnt do my physio exercises at home, which I will because I want to walk happily again! He wants me to do a lot of swimming, and biking (like those exercise bikes)...........
I was doing this *sprial your foot exercise*................ It was like death.........and then I had to soak my foot in hot water and move it around and do all these movemesnts......... this is how I spent my entire evening....then i did this "Stand exercise"........literally standing with nothing to support me but me.............of course....worst shooting pain shot through me............hurt hurt hurt hurt!!! is it suppose to hurt this much? Needless to say my foot has swelled up.............and I had to take a pill........
I think I am about ready to collapse........Im for sure getting a different bone specialist...........the one I went to first was so nice, my aunt got me into see him, but then I had to see this new asshole because the hospital sent him of all ppl my file.... grrrr.... I just feel nervous about all this movement when he did NO xrays...........what if he was wrong! *sighs* meds are zonking me out........Im out now...bye
If I ever walk again...you'll be the first to know
