Well, I did it good.

This last Saturday, Orie, Katie and I were outside pulling weeds in the backyard. I was doing the clean-up when I kinda hopped across a muddy part. Well, it was softer than I thought and I hyperextended my ankle/heel. The pain was terrible and I knew I had done something bad to it. I came in the house, and Orie took me to the instacare. The Dr there said it was a mess and he recommended a sports medicine dr to look at it. So, yesterday, Tuesday, August 17, I went to see Dr Millward, he pushed and pulled on it and gave me some recommendations of what to do. At first he was going to cast it, and change the casts every 2 weeks and this would have been an 8 wk process. He however said he had a gut feeling and went and got the ultrasound machine. While viewing it, it said it didn't look too bad, and that made me happy. Then he started moving my foot around and said, oh no...it's completely torn! Dr Millward said there are really only 2 options, one is to have my foot in a boot 24/7 for 12 wks or have surgery. I don't have insurance, so we'd end up having to pay it all outta pocket, with money we don't have. I am applying for financial assistance with the hospital to see what we can do to work out something. I'm praying for a miracle healing so that I won't be stuck in a boot for 12 wks or won't need surgery. I'll keep you posted on what's going to be happening with me.
