Its not broken but.....................

Some of you know about this and others guess what SURPRISE!

I spent today in Radiology, PCP and specialty offices, I am tired. Well my left leg, knee and foot is not broken from my fall on Saturday at the beach.  BUT, I rolled everything in the leg from the knee down.  All the muscle, tendons, and ligaments from the knee down.  I look like a 7 year old that fell off her bike.  My knee and foot have doubled in size, it is not very pretty.  So I was told late today by Ortho. and Podiatry that I MUST start physical therapy TOMORROW or I will never run again.  I cried like I was the 7 year old, "don't tell me that I will never run again". OMG!  I will run on my numbs if I have too. 
I am soooooooooo bummed right now.  Going to ice this leg for a bit and hit the bed.  What a day off work................

I need some positive thoughts............

Hugs Kristen

Kristen,
Sorry to hear that! I hope the PT fixes everything and you are back up and running in no time. Take care and feel better.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh noooooo!!! Stay off of it whatever you do. I bet that hurts like hell too. OMG! You poor thing.
((((((Hugs))))))))) My girlfriend fell off her front porch trying to move a birds nest from a hanging plant (did I mention she is very smart hehe) and she broke a foot. She went to Ches. Ortho which is where my hubby went for his back injury and she said they were AWESOME!! But it got a lot uglier before it got better. It looked like someone hit her foot all day with a bat. EWWW I hope yours is not that bad. But with it being a larger area I am afraid your injury may be worse. Yuck! Its a shame it didnt happen at work. hehehe My husband was forced to stay home 45 days paid. hehehe They wouldnt have to force me..I would say C-YA!!!! hehehe
GET BETTER SOON!!!!!! ~Jilly~

I am so sorry to you got hurt Kristen.  Just be sure to follow everything they say and I'm sure you will heal right up and be running again before you know it.  You have come so far in your journey that I KNOW you will see this as just a minor setback and will do whatever you need to do to get back on track.   You are a strong woman and this is but a litlte (although painful) hurdle. Give your body the time it needs to heal and follow the instructions you're given and all will be good.

If you need anything at all, don't hesitate to let me know. 

Hugs, Tina

What do doctors know???  You WILL run again. Think positive.

Sorry you got hurt. It sounds painful! Feel better soon.

Oh Kristen,

I am so sorry to hear about this. Remember, it feels the worst right now because the injury is still so fresh. Follow MD orders during this healing phase. Look at all you have accomplished. You are a strong person and you will get through this too. Yes, this is a bump in the road, but you will get by it. I KNOW you will!

Kristen,

Sorry to hear about your leg.  Please take care of it.  I really hope PT helps.  Rest up tonight.

Sending you positive thoughts and prayers that you'll heal quickly and be up and at 'em soon!  Can't wait 'til I'm upset if I CAN'T exercise!!

Thank you all, I am strong like an OX or at least in the head.  It will be fine, it is pretty swollen this morning but I will ice it down again.  With that being said I want to go to work today and hit PT after work.  I plan to kick this in the butt!
Hugs Kristen

You will run again.........................dont let them tell you otherwise...............you are strong and can get through this

sending good thoughts your way that physical therapy works for you
