Thanks so much for your prayers! I went this morning for x-rays and they came back quickly. I do have a fracture in my foot and will need a cast. That is no surprise. Unfortunately, the doctor could not get hold of the man who does casts. She put me in a room where we (Janet & I) waited all day long… That was a bit frustrating! She finally came back and told us that we will have to return tomorrow. She will call us when she gets hold of him and will make an appointment.
In the meantime, I tried on one of these boot casts that a friend gave me to use. The doctor doesn’t think it will work well for me, but since I didn’t get the cast we tried it anyway for tonight. It was SO painful. I had to take it off again after I got home. The swelling is still really bad and probably won’t go down for a few more days. The pain is because it re-positioned my foot. I’m sure the cast will cause the same pain, but hopefully, with some pain killers, it won’t last for too long.
Thanks again for your prayers and your notes of encouragement. They mean so much to me!
