Hi all!! I haven't done a Fit Tuesday post in a couple of weeks. It's been hotter than crap here so I have been spending as much time at the pool as I can. Not only that, but, you guessed it, more trouble with the foot. I went back to my doctor, who took this awesome X-Ray....isn't it crazy!! I know mine is probably pretty tame compared to some foot injuries (I know this because I Google, which gives all kinds of crazy foot injuries....complete with pictures!!!) I will probably need to either have the screws removed or, if the break is still not healed, fuse the bones together. Sounds awful. After some more Googling, I think I want to opt for the screw removal--if I get the choice.
I gotta say I am SICK to death of this foot. I know it's part of life, but just when I think I am starting to get some momentum forward, a fall down the stairs changes things. It's been almost 2 years since my fall and we are still talking about it. UGH!!
So, folks, we'll see how it goes in the next couple of weeks as I get more results and consultations. In the mean time, I am going to forgo the walking/running and stick to the pool :o)
I came here for your "Swoon" post and then continued reading. (I liked my bedding heavier until I got used to a down blanket--now light feels fine.)
ReplyDeleteYou might want to check out a resource like www.lef.org for information on bone healing. In addition to calcium, we need zinc, Vitamin D, and Vitamin K. When I broke my elbow I was told I needed magnesium as well--and I've been taking lovely baths with Epsom Salts ever since. Hope you do heal.
