I'm not broken after all! Yay!

I wrote a big entry today after I got home from the fracture clinic, but apparently that entry has been eaten up by diaryland or Internet Explorer, or my computer.

Whatever ate it, the result is still the same. My entry is gone.

And now I'm tired and don't feel like writing it out again, but I know everyone is worried about me, and I want to set everyone's minds at ease.

I'm not broken.

(insert huge fucking sigh of relief here)

The specialist at the fracture clinic told me that the initial diagnosis of no broken bones was correct. He understood what everyone had been worried about, but he said that while one thing in one of the x-rays indicated that there could be a major problem, none of the other x-rays or my symptoms matched.

He said that if I had done what the radiologist was concerned about, I probably would not have been able to get off the floor of the club, much less walk up and down subway stairs.

Basically here's what it all boils down to:

1)No broken bones (Wheee!)
2)No surgery
3)No cast (Hurrah!)
3)I can put weight on my foot
4)No more fucking crutches, unless I want to use them-- I have been using one more or less as a cane
5)I can have a shower, get to work all by myself, and basically carry on with my life more or less as normal.

Thank goodness.

He did say that whatever I did do to my foot was pretty nasty, and that it will probably take at least 4-6 weeks for it to start feeling normal again. And my foot still hurts. Both feet, actually. And the left one (the bad one) is still swollen to Fred Flintstone-esque proportions.

However, right now that stuff all feels pretty minor compared to everything I was worried about yesterday and this morning.

I think I'm going to go to bed now. It's been a long day.

yesterday tomorrow
