My trip to the podiatrist didnt come out as well as I'd hoped. He took more intense exrays and the middle bone in my foot is completely broken and the two ends are not aligned. The top part is sticking out and over the bottom part and that's not a good thing. He had me go get an air boot which I have to wear all the time except bed of course and I am going back Monday for a cat scan to get more information. If it shows what he thinks it will, I will have to have surgery to put a plate in to hold it together. He also suggested I get some crutches to walk with to take the pressure off that foot and to stay off it at all times unless absolutely necessary.


What makes me mad is that he said he cant understand why my family doctor didnt see this when he took the first exrays and that if he had, it may have turned out differently.


So, I will know more when I go back to the podiatrist April 1st and he'll have the results from the cat scan.


So ladies, I am sorry for more unhappy news but such is my life right now.


Hugs, Jackie

Oh Jackie...that's horrible news. I'm SO sorry. You knew all along something wasn't right...that darned Dr. of yours. It sounds SO painful. Wish there was something we could do for you. You've sure had a tough year. How did this happen?

(((Jackie))). Thank goodness you went to get another opinion about your foot. At least now you know there is a fix, and mending is on the way.


Hugs,

Oh Jackie, this is NOT good news at all.
