I have been referred to surgery, which I’m waiting to hear about in September.

My foot will have been broken for months by that point and all I have to show for it is a fracture boot that hasn’t even helped it heal. I’ve also been told that this kind of break tends to heal spectacularly poorly…

Why in the world a cast wasn’t put on it within days continues to be beyond me, folks. It really is.

On this day I was finally able to get in to see my new primary care physician since my old one retired.

She prescribed me enough pain medication to get me over the hump of a consult with the orthopedic surgeon, and either that individual or my pain management clinic (who normally see me for migraine-related pain, though they treat other kinds of pain too) will continue to prescribe me medications as needed. Between codeine and the occasional hydrocodone, I’m able to maneuver around the house in my new boot.

By the time most of you see this, several days will unfortunately have elapsed.

I’ve been quite busy lately with real life, and I apologize for not being able to post in here!

Today was the day that I found out that the break in my foot had gotten… slightly worse than it was on initial imaging, which probably has a lot to do with the fact that I can’t get in to see an orthopedic surgeon for a consult until the end of the month. That was the soonest that our schedules aligned to be able to fit me in.
