so I am pretty sure I need an orthopedic doctor, for sure an X-ray


By the time our medical people actually talk to me, it was 8:00 p.m.  for various reasons that I'm not going to talk about, I did not at all want to go to the ER locally. One reason I can tell you about is years ago they almost killed my friend at that hospital. But I won't talk about that anymore.   I called and they were full and it would have been hours and I just couldn't take the idea of having to leave my home when I was actually comfortable with my foot carefully elevated.  I probably should have just gone directly to the hospital but that didn't happen.  We're trying to figure out how to make me warm enough so I can sleep. Unfortunately I can't have a lot of anything near my injured foot.  In other words, my foot is cold which really actually impacts if I sleep.

I already have a list of doctors who I'm going to call in the morning. I'm hoping to go to an orthopedic doctor and have the X-ray and probably have a cast and have it done. I can't remember if they do a cast right away or not. 

I would love if this is only a bad sprain but I don't know. If I broke my foot. I broke it.  It would only be a fracture, though it's not that bad. The hot water bottles are already helping!!  I have a really good husband.  

I had my candles blessed today this morning! I actually had gone back to church for a memorial service at 4:00 and then I went and got a few groceries. I was really tired but I really wanted to walk more. Maybe that was a mistake but I also trust God's will.

May God have mercy on us.
