foot saga continues

On August 24 I fall on the inside of my right foot. Could have been worse.

On September 1 I see my podiatrist. While the x-rays show nothing, he's pretty certain I've fractured a bone and recommends a cast. I ignore his advice.

On September 13 I see a renowned foot surgeon. He takes an x-ray, sees nothing, and concludes, "It's definitely not broken." He tells me it's a deep contusion that it'll heal on its own.

I walk about 25 miles a weekend, which I am sure doesn't help. But the pain I felt on August 24 is not much better two months later.

I go to another podiatrist, a Dr. Hayashi, recommended by the foot surgeon. She thinks I may have a tendon problem and recommends an MRI.

Yesterday I have the MRI and today the doctor calls. I have a fracture of the lateral cuneiform. I schedule an appointment for next Tuesday, and, I'm told, "Try and stay off your foot until then."

Pretty impossible as I need to work. 

I write to my boss to tell him the news.  

I will now be back to wearing running shoes. These looked okay with tanned legs and short summer skirts. They won't look as good with black tights and wool dresses. 

I'm hoping there is no cast is in my future. Will know more on Tuesday.
