I dropped my laptop on my foot last night and I still couldn't walk on it for 20 minutes and it was a nice shade of purple so I was in the ER from 11:30pm til 1:00am. Turns out it is just very badly bruised. There could be a small fracture, but they couldn't tell because it was still very swollen. I have a follow up appointment Thursday which means I have to cancel my Springfield/Branson trip with my cousin this week. I had planned on leaving tonight and coming home Friday or Saturday. I think we were going to SDC Thursday, but now unfortunately, I can't :'(
I don't know which hurts more... my foot or having to cancel the SDC trip ???
OOOPPPS! Hope you are feeling better soon. :)
Cancel the Dr appt and rent a motorized buggy! Go to SDC!!
Prayers up for fast healing!

I thought about it! But I need to make sure everything is ok so I can get back into dance :-\
We are trying to get an earlier appointment, but so far, no luck.

Wrong Sir Wrong
Okie, I know ;),
But nobody else had jumped in there , AND it HAD to be said. ;D.
Get well soon tiff..
I'm suprised I haven't got the "Is the laptop ok?" thing yet. They loved that at the hospital...
The better question would be was it atleast on SDCfans.com? :D
Why not just move the SDC trip to Friday?
We are moving our trip to Sunday-Tuesday, depending on what the Dr. says. Not sure what day SDC is yet...
I got the MRI done Thursday and right away they could tell there was a small fracture. The professional MRI reader guy is supposed to look at it some time this weekend but for now I have to keep it wrapped, elevated with ice and stay off of it as much as possible. :(
That stinks. Sorry to hear your foot is fractured. Feel better soon. And if you need discount PT, hit me up! lol.
sorry to hear that tiff, get well! :)
Wow!! get well quick.
Thanks everybody!
I decided to go to Springfield, but no SDC :(
So close, yet so far huh Tiff? As I have said before, I have been injured for several years, onr thing after another, and have been to the City in pain many times, but the City always seemed to make things better. There must be a fountain of youth out there in them Ozarks!
I hear that it may be out there by lake Silver. Ponce de Leon was looking for it or something ....
If my cousin's wife didn't have to work everyday, we were gonna go to SDC, but keeping up with a 4 yr old and a 2 yr old at a theme park is really hard work, so we decided not to go. My cousin and I sat around sharing SDC memories from years gone by, which was still fun, but not the same as actually being there.
They got those leash things that look like backpacks for the young'ens. THose things are a lifesaver.
Tiff, its been 10 or 11 days now, how is the healing process going?
Its not as swollen as it was, but it still hurts really bad. I'm not supposed to be walking on it, but crutches are next to impossible for clumsy people like me. I have a follow up appointment tomorrow to see exactly how the far the healing is, then we'll see what happens from there.
Do what they say, Tiff! Icing it helps tremendously. I broke my knee in January, and I'm still not walking...blah...such is life.
Hope you get back to normal soon. On the other hand, had you came out and walked some trails, you might have built up some foot muscle that would have been more resistant to injury. ;D

Yeah, maybe so! ;)
I figured with all the ballet and dancing, non-dance related foot injuries would be harder to come by, but I guess with dancing being (for the most part) on the BOTTOM of feet, dropping something on the TOP doesn't help much. :-\
I'm killing time on SDCFans before going to my Dr. appt.
Wish me luck!!
GOOD LUCK!!
All better!! It's still bruised, but other than that, we're in good shape! I don't know why the doctor insisted on shoving his thumb into the bruise the whole time he was telling me all the medical terms for everything that could have possibly been wrong with it, but I was seriously about to say a few words...
Having had more than my share of dr's and fractures, stress reactions, sprains, strains, neuromas, bruises etc, I know what you mean . I have gone in with no pain, and left in more pain from the prodding and pushing! I understand it is needed, but OUCH!
congrats on the healing process.......
Sdc in the near future?
I hope so!!!
