I gave myself 15 minutes of reading time last night and went down the stairs to get the Amazon Kindle. Instead, I got a broken foot. (My foot kinda rolled on the third step from the bottom and went down with an impressive bounce and thud.)
Broke the fifth metatarsal on my left foot -- snapped in two cleanly. I waited 5.5 hours before going to the ER, but Bill had it iced all night. I've never broken anything before ... I thought a break immediately bruised black but mine seems to be all on the inside.
Awesome.
I have an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon tomorrow at noon to follow up on treatment. Which brings me to this point -- WTF good is a HOSPITAL without an orthoped? Seattle Grace* has Callie Torres, right? SOMEBODY in that hospital had the power to cast/boot/saw it off.
My foot hurts.
* Shut up, Bridget.

When I did my spectacular destruction of my wrist, there was no orthopod on the night shift. I got sent home in a cock up splint.
Ouch, btw. That sounds most painful-and it'll be hard to keep that foot warm.
OH shit, I just realized this means you're not going to Reno. Yikes.
So, you're going to be totally useless to me on Black Friday, right? I'm going to have to do Target alone??? I'm scared.
When do we ever shop together since you crossed over to the dark side?
If Callie Torres had helped you, you'd have to sleep with her ... things are NOT necessarily greener on the other side of the fence.
Get well SOON!!!
Callie Torres is with Seattle Grace. Geeesh!
Well, shit.
Hey...rent a wheelchair for Black Friday. I think Target has the electric ones, right? Woohoo...you'll whiz down those damn isles and be able to run over anybody in your way.
Take care of boo and your boo-boo.

You need to trim those toe nails. Did you scratch out the Ortho's eyes with those things when he tried to cast you? :p hee hee
Shop online girl, that is the way to go.
owie! you have my sympathies. when I killed my ankle my foot turned all sorts of lovely shades of purple.
Ankle trumps foot. Jeez. I can't even imagine!!
