Title: My right foot is mending!
Post by: Dulciana on May 20, 2015, 10:44:35 AM

I'm a happy bunny - at least, a happier bunny than I have been for the last seven weeks!  I've just come back from the orthopedic  clinic and have seen the latest x-rays.  My broken right foot - 5th metatarsal - is starting to heal nicely and (the most important thing!) I can start using it for organ pedalling again.  (I've had to play one-footedly since I found out it was broken.)  The consultant told me that as long as I stop using it for a few days if it gets sore, it should be all right and that things should definitely be okay for the organ course I'm going on in early July.   I've to expect a call from the physiotherapist soon, for treatment in that line to begin.  And meanwhile, I've been given a few exercises to be getting on with at home.  Ladies, I am soooo relieved!!!  I think this definitely calls for a glass of wine tonight!   :) :)

It is so reassuring to see the actual X-ray!  Glad that you are on the mend, I didn't think that the fracture wouldn't - 6-8 weeks is 'usual'  ;)

Keep it elevated?

Thanks, Sparkle, CJ-sleepless and CLKD.

Yes, CLKD, I do stick my foot up whenever I get the chance.  It's still the most comfortable position, apart from totally flat on the floor.   I've also to try and walk without "favouring" the fracture area.  Easier said than done - I can only do it at snail pace - but I'm told that should get easier as it continues to heal.   Oh, dem bones.....!   ::)

It's good you are sitting down and looking after yourself - But remember when assuming the standing position, to take care. It would be a shame to wreck all your good work   ;D
