And The Diagnosis Is....

I broke my foot.  :P  But not in a bad way.  I have what is called a "Proximal avulsion fracture of the 5th metatarsal".  Look that one up!  Lol!!

Basically, when I tripped and fell, I twisted my ankle REALLY bad.  When I did that, one of the tendons that attaches to the tiny bone in the top of my foot (the one that goes on to become my pinkie toe) ripped a piece of bone about the size of a pin head off the bone itself.  No big deal.  I don't need a cast and I can walk on it.  I have an epic bruise (it's PURPLE!!) and I have to ice it and elevate it but other than that I'm fine.

Here's an x-ray!!



Being off my feet last night gave me an excuse to be really productive on that owl.  It's done!  :D  And I think it's totally adorable with loads of personality.  I think I may start making and selling them.  I've already got an idea for a zombie owl.....  Just saying.  :P

Here's the finished product:



Excuse the foot in the picture.  I was elevating.  And the part of the blanket that you see on the left is a small portion of an absolutely GORGEOUS afghan my mom made. :)  We're all crafty.  Lol.

I also got flowers.  :P  I love lilies.  They're my favorite flower.  And when I got home from getting poked, prodded, and x-rayed, I found these on the table:



I should break my foot more often.  :P  Flowers, uninterrupted craft time, and a cuddly blanket.  Love it!  Lol. 

So, anyways, all is well and I get to keep my foot.  No amputation required.  :) 

Have a happy Friday, lovelies!!!

Scooter Out.

    1. Bahahaha!!! My foot was also VERY swollen and turning purple. :P It's cuter when it's not broken. Lol!

      I'm glad you like the owl. Now.... How can I get an address to send it to you without you posting it on the interwebs?? :) Let me know how you wanna do it. *hugs*
