I broke my first bone today. Thankfully it wasn't a major one but will heal at about the same rate as any other. Here's the story:
I got to sleep in this morning and woke up around 10am. Headed towards going downstairs as our bedroom is upstairs and everything else is downstairs. As I went to take a step down to the first step, I put my heel down and it flew right out from under me. I basically skied down the stairs until the end which ends in either a wall or a door depending on what you hit first. I hit the wall and my left big toe slammed straight into it. Steve heard me fall and I yelled for him too. He came running and helped me sit more comfortably until I thought I could move. Got up and assessed the damage which mostly included soreness, carpet burns, and a swollen very painful left great toe.
We went to the ER to see if I hurt anything majorly. They did x-rays of my left foot, right shoulder, right elbow, and pelvis. Turns out I had fractured my great toe on my left foot. I was somewhat surprised since I have never broken any bones before despite being very accident prone. So it's all wrapped up and I have a shoe I have to wear to keep it stabilized for the next 4-6 weeks. Steve bought me a purple walking cane to help keep me on my feet. We are working on figuring out where to move our bedroom downstairs so I don't have to go up and down the stairs in the morning to get ready for work like normal.
We should have bought a ranch style house. *sigh* Prayers for fast healing are welcome!
