^%$#@# broke my foot

[smokinwrench]

I was off work yesterday afternoon really enjoying myself. My 9 year old and I were taking paddles off and checking over machines. I took one of his paddles and slid it on a shelf. Took the other one stood on the rear tire of our scrambler and set it on the shelf also. Jumped down and my foot landed on the edge of 2 peces of 3/4 plywood that are laying on the garage floor. I rolled my foot and when that happened it streteched a tenden, the bone stayed with the tenden this caused my bone to be pulled apart. The ER Dr coesn't thnk any surgery will be needed, he thinks a walking boot for a few weeks will fix it. I have to see a foot specialist Monday.

This really stinks with a brand new job and I have to wear steel toe boots to be able to work. Even worse we are having temps in the 60's this weekend and I do this stupid crap. I just might have to ride the scrambler no shifting that way and take a cruise with the kids.

Dam, sorry to hear that bro. Hope it heals up well and doesn't haunt you for life.....

have it looked at again when swelling goes down- a doc told me the same crap- went back- then was told it needed a cast, and to stay off it- tendons are worse than breaks- good luck

It was broke in 3 spots. They casted it. Get this cast off the 20th and rexrayed. I hope at that point I can get into a walking cast or the Dr will just allow me to tape it up real good and go back to work.

Went to the Dr. today got the cast off and exrayed. No surgery needed. I got a walking boot but still have to use my crutches for the next week (I tried walking on it no way, I think I peed a little LOL) or so then start putting some pressure on it. Probably off work 4 more weeks, start physical theropy in 2 weeks.

I was amazed my foot is still black and blue on the entire heel area of my foot and around my toes. One nice thing is I finally got to wash my foot, I bet it stunk bad!
