My new Pirate boot!

Arggg Matey's! According to Mason I am now officially a pirate. That is due to the fact that my fractured ankle requires me to wear a fracture boot.

Yes folks... she's done it again! I've added yet another bone to the broken bones list. I turned my ankle on Monday and it was sore but I thought nothing of it. Yesterday is was still sore so I took motrin and soldiered on. I woke up this morning with it throbbing and hurting even more. By this afternoon it was swollen and I could barely walk... so off to urgent care I went. $150.00 and a few x-rays later the dr says you've fractured your "whatever it's called" and we need to cast it and you'll be on crutches for a few weeks... ummm... NO!

So I ask if there are other options and he mentions the walking boot... after I say, "well Dr I have 3 small children so crutches would not be the supreme choice for me." Oh is his response. SERIOUSLY!!

So I'll be Pirate Jenn for the next 3 weeks until they can x-ray it again. If there is still significant pain and swelling then, they will send me to an orthopedist to make sure there is no tendon or ligament damage.

At least with this boot my husband can watch me shake it a little more. ;)

Another day in the life of Gimp!
