Well, I got home from Buenes Aires on Monday, Oct 22nd. I went to work on Tuesday not feeling very well because of the bug I caught in Buenes Aires. I thought I may have strep throat so I made an appointment with my Doc for Tuesday afternoon. On my way back to work I got in a horrible, basically head on, accident. I saw it coming and remember thinking, Oh God this is going to be bad. Right away I knew my foot was messed up.
I was taken to the hospital via ambulance. I found out that all the 'long bones' in my right foot were broken away from the joints closer to my heel. This injury is refered to as a "lisfranc" injury.
I was in the hospital for a week waiting for the swelling to subside, then they decided that the doc I had was not comfortable doing my surgery. He recommended that I go to another hospital where the doc there dealt with this kind of injury. My Mom and I went there yesterday and found out they can't do the surgery till next Wednesday!
After doing some research and listening to the doc, this is not for the light hearted. I will be completely off my feet for two months! We'll see!!
Anyway, this leaves me a lot of time to blog. I'll keep you all updated.
