Before After

When Toe's not happy, ain't nobody happy

My doctors appointment was on Tuesday.
 
The Doctor told me she thinks its a stress fracture in my foot, seeing as thought the pain has now spread to include the ball of my foot. I had an x-ray done, but it came back normal... so I am now scheduled for a bone scan on the 26th.
 
A Bone Scan.
 
I am coming to terms with the fact that something is really wrong with my stupid foot, and its not just a bad bruise... its actually beginning to hurt more and more, and that scares me. Almost as much as being pumped full with radio active juice and scanned for an hour.
 
I still don't know what the plan of attack will be once the cause of the pain is found, but I have to hope it's more than what she told me to do at present: which was not to run on it if it hurts to walk. Great... I figured that part out on my own. If it hurts to walk, then shouldn't I NOT BE WALKING ON IT AT ALL??? At this point I would almost rather have a cast or a boot or something---anything to help it heal ASAP, because I am tired of feeling like a sloth, and it seems like even swimming aggravates it somewhat.
 
So, that's whats up with me. The snow and ice is finally starting to retreat, but DH is still not working, although tomorrow is looking up for that as well. My eating has been OK... my weight seems to be fluctuating everyday... I'm just keeping an eye on it to make sure there is not consistent upward trend.

oh, no

My cousin, who's a very active outdoorswoman, got a stress fracture in her hip a few years ago and was sidelined for nearly a year. There is no way to heal it other than to leave it alone and let the bone regrow. Having it in your toe sounds difficult. I mean, you gotta walk! If they confirm the fracture, they probably will give you some kind of boot. I'll be hoping for the best.

Hi there

First of all, I hope your toe ends up just fine and soon. Now, I've just spent a couple hours reading through your whole story here; I happen to be another gemini, 24, 5"8.5 and going from 198 to 141 lbs (currently at 162), plus, living in Seattle. Needless to say I was very amused to see that many similarities, and reading through your entries between my current weight and yours was invaluable. Thanks!

Foot

I hope your foot problem gets solved and that you are up and running on it safely and soon.  It's nice that the ice is gone.  Rain is way better!  This coming from someone who hates rain.

Thinking of You

Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you and hoping things went well for you on your bone scan yesterday.  Regardless of the outcome, I'm sure it will be a step in the right direction to at least getting you pain free.  Take care.  Hope you are well.
