The diagnosis
Thanks to my mother, I was chauffered to the ER today around 930am. They x-rayed my foot as well doing some poking and probing. It's fractured along the top part of my foot. It's all wrapped up with a splint and ace bandages. They told me to keep icing it and gave me Darvocet. I've got an appointment on Thursday with a very good orth who will most likely to cast it up. I am now the owner of a pair of very shiny cruches. I hate them.
I think I am going to ask for a hot pink cast.

Oh, no!
Poor Kate.
I'm so sorry.
I hope it heals quickly. I have heard fractures heal more quickly than sprains.

Oh ouch! I know how that feels though, I've broken my foot too.
Feel better soon girl. :)

Oh no! My mom did that last year around this time, but she only got a boot, no cast. That was great, because she could take it off to shower. Although, if you must have a cast, pink is definitely the way to go!

So sorry about your foot. But it's good you had it looked at.
I was on crutches for several days a long time ago, and never did get the hang of it. Just had sore arms. I did a lot of sitting.
Hope you do better than I did.
