Still

Ok folks, from my last and I was awaiting the results of the Xray, and seems the STILL there is no breaks in said foot.  Doc did say there is soft tissue damage and a hemotoma in my arch.  So, I guess I all the swelling and discolouration is due to the hemotoma.  I don't care..just heal GDI!!  In three weeks I have not one, but two weddings to go and photograph.  I can't do that while on crutches!!  Oh yes, I did get some crutches.

Sigh.  There has been some improvement on my foot.  I apply Voltaren on it 3-4x's a day, wrap the sucker and stay off of it as much as I can, with wiggling the toes and ankle around intermittently through the day.  It still freakin hurts though, and swells like a SOB...Sigh.  It MUST be better soon.  MUST.  Today I soaked it in a warm bath of epsom salts, and eucalyptus, menthol, rosemary oil, and wiggled it around and flexed the toes etc.  Then, I applied some eucaplytus oil on the toe and massaged gently, applied Voltaren on the arch area and top of foot, wrapped it, and then called it a day.  Even my dog looks at my crutches knowing that I need them when I get up and move...crazy.

Ah well, one day I shall no longer write about my foot.  Its gotta be boring by now!!
