A little bummed

well I woke up this morning thinking wow what a great day.... that all ended when I tryed to step down and a shot of pain went through my foot all the way up to my back.................... so I hobbled in the the tub took a hot bath to see if that helped................ nope! had to call a friend of mine to get me out of the tub because I could not put any weight on my foot................. Grrrr so off to the ER I go and what do I find out I have 3 yes 3 stress fractures in my foot..... geeezzzzzzz! not sure how I did that....Dr says he thinks it is from me running on the tread mill so no running for me aparently because of my RA and my gout my bones are real brittle GRRRRR! so it looks like I am off my foot for 4-6 weeks! I am not happy about this but I will try to work through it all ..................other then that I still think life is pretty darn good..... hubby will have R&R leave sept 17th and I cant wait to see him!

so sorry to her about your foot.  I wish you a speedy recovery. 

Thank you very much, that was sweet of you.

OUCH!  I broke my right ankle and foot while walking barefoot on grassy flat ground.. I seemed to need a repear and did it again 5 years later.. same foot.. .. I wish you a speedy recovery.. and YAY on your DH R&R ... my DH served 20 years active.. missed him alot.. he is now home retired.. and enjoying every minute...  Take care of your foot so you can enjoy your time with DH..

Thanks, I still am not sure how I even did this to my foot....... it is nuts! and now in this moon boot thinking this is crazy....................... I cant wait to see my hubby it is hard to be without the one you love but he loves what he does and that is one of the things I love about him.
I am glad you have your DH home now.... I look forward to that day I can say that too.

Hugs

Ohhh man! I am sooo sorry! Ouchy for sure! Strange you didn't notice it until you woke up. Stress fracturs are the oddest things.  Guess this puts bike riding on hold for a bit too huh?
So glad you get to spend some time with hubby! I KNOW you must be excited as can b to see him! Rest that poor foot of yours.
KUDOS to you for keeping such an upbeat attitude through it all! Very inspiring!!!!!

it sucks! Thank you Patrece, The dr thinks I may have done it on the treadmill but I am thinking when I was out in the backyard goofing around doing cartwheels.... oh yes cartwheels my grand daughter wanted me to teach her how to do one.................. "laughing at myself now" it was a sight... but I did do a few... but I am thinking it may have been that or the dr could be right who knows, I am just going to take it easy and rest up for when hubby is home.... the time I have with him is short so I have to make it count......... Thanks I am trying to keep up a good attitude and most of the time it has been easy I just have to think how far I have came to get to where I am now... and it helps to have the suport I have on here from you and everyone else. Thank you again .

LOL  you sound like me! A grammy doin cartwheels! I do silly stuff like that once in a while with my grandkids. Who'd have ever thought PRE WLS this could ever be possible!  Laughable..but possible. lol
Heal well! You are very welcome.

Lisa, so sorry about the stress fractures.  Have you had labs checked lately?  Calcium and vit D are important for bone strength.  Check with your MD, possible time to increase supplements to prevent future fractures. 

I agree, take it easy, keep up your spirits and enjoy the time your hubby is home on leave.  Hugs

Hi Kathy,

Yes my labs were checked last month and all was great no problems but I have RA and gout so my bones are brittle from all of it... The dr told me to add another Citracal to my  daily vitamins

Hugs,Lisa
