Well, as some of you know I took quite a tumble yesterday. Actually, it was more like a major crash!! I slipped as I was getting in the shower late Wednesday afternoon and banged up my shoulder and came down with all my weight on the edge of the shower on the underside of my left foot. At the time it felt that there was no way it was not broken because of the sheer pain. The kind of pain that instantly makes you nauseated. Yes, it was that bad. I wish I was over dramatizing it and it had not actually hurt that bad ;) Our shower door in the master bathroom tends to leak water out when you open/close it and that is exactly what happened and I was in a hurry and had no traction. We immediately iced and then bandaged up and elevated for the remainder of the evening per the doctors orders. Last night I could not put any pressure on it. This morning the doctor said he wanted to see it and get an x-ray. The x-ray came back ok but he still wants me to be cautious. I am to stay off of it as much as possible, soak in epsom salt 4 times per day for about 30 minutes per time and bandage if I am to be up for long periods and elevate if I can throughout the day. Today, I was not really successful at much of that and am feeling the pain now. From the sounds of it there will be at least a week of recovery if no fractures appear and I behave and follow the doctors orders. If I still am feeling like it is not healing properly towards the end of next week I will need to get a bone scan is what he said I believe. Tomorrow is a loooong day at work since we have a night time event so I will probably be paying for my activity level again on Saturday.

Taylor told me about this this morning, girl. I am glad to hear you are feeling a little better but it does sound like you are in some pain. When he first started telling me I thought he was going to say you fell outside while running. And I was thinking "man I am the one enouraging her to get out and do that and she gets hurt!!". I hope it isn't anything serious and that a little ice, soaking and elevation will make it all better. I hope today isn't too bad and you can get some good rest tomorrow.
Miss you guys!!!
So sorry to hear about this! I hope that you get some relief soon.
goodness gracious, there gracie! you didn't go and hurt yourself just so you guys don't have to come next week did you?
