Take it easy Tuesday!

Good morning all. I am not going to do anything today but stay off my foot. It swelled up so much last night, I thought I was going to have to go to the ER. I am calling my foot DR. today and see what he thinks about it.


I went to a new family Dr. yesterday. Its the one Dh goes to and he really likes it there. My other family Dr. just doesnt seem to want to try and figure out my problems and I'm a little disappointed with him in general. Yestereday they did a blood test to check my vitamin D level and see if I need some medications to try and stop these breaks from happening. They also detected a heart murmur which I have had since a child and they are going to schedule and EKG and some heart tests to check it out. My problem with bone meds is that I have TennCare which is Medicaid and they wont pay for alot of meds that I could be using that are stronger than what I'm taking now.


Oh well! All I can do is stay off my foot, use my bone stimulator and hope for the best.


Wish me luck!

You probably don't have much of a choice but to stay off that foot, Jackie.

Jackie I hope they find a simple solution to your fracture problems. Nothing worse than being off your feet for long periods of time.
