I fractured my foot 3 weeks ago and received the news today that I will be laid up another 3 weeks. I will also need to use a bone stimulator every day until I see the doctor again. The doctor says it will be anywhere from 6-12 weeks before I heal. I have several concerns about this ordeal. The first being I hope I heal and can begin school in 4 weeks; the second being I hope the fracture heals and the doctor doesn’t need to put a screw in my foot; and the third being the ball of the foot has shifted. The doctor said it’s a bone spur but it doesn’t seem like it. It hurts and I’m worried that once I can walk on my foot that it will cause me pain when walking due to the change in this bone. This whole process is terrible and time consuming. I hate not having definite answers. It scares me to think that I might not heal or the fracture will heal but the ‘bone spur’ will not. There are a couple of different scenarios that could occur with my situation and further delay my entrance back to normalcy. Please don’t happen!
I’m going to stay positive and try to reflect positive thoughts and images to my foot. Oh please heal! Please heal my dear little foot! I need you! I want you! And we need to get a pedicure!
For now, I sit and wait and pray. I will sit, wait and pray while spending time with my beautiful son, Nicholas. Though it’s a crummy situation, forcing me to rest and concentrate on myself, it will give me the privelage of being home everyday with Nicholas. My son who lives without his mama all week while I go to work and attend school. His mama who is working hard to cause positive change to our lives. The mama who loves her boy so dearly.
Happy thoughts, happy, positive thoughts. Ouch! My foot hurts.
