Ya put the right leg in, ya take the right leg out

(This is not my foot)


Yup my right leg is a mess. If you haven't heard the story from the beginning, I will fill you in. February 14th at Disney World I tripped on some carpet and smashed up my knee. It swelled like a cantaloupe and bruised from my groin to my ankle. A few days later, back in Canada, we went straight to ER. They x-rayed and did not find any broken bones or injured ligaments/tendons. I was put in a Zimmer splint and given crutches. I hobbled home in pain. Over time it began to get better and I was able to put a little weight on it. I was able to remove the splint and just use crutches. One night going to the bathroom, my crutch slid on shower water that wasn't cleaned up. I fell backwards into the bathtub with my legs hanging out. I was bruised across the top of my shoulder blades and across my entire hip/tailbone area. My ankle was injured more. Few days later I headed for bed. I attempted to turn off the lamp and turn to go to bed. My foot stayed still but my body turned, same leg.My ankle swelled like a tennis ball and I couldn't put any pressure on it. Back to ER, no breaks or injured tendons/ligaments, back on crutches. It is so sore, oxy and morphine are not even touching the pain. It wakes me up at night, it brings tears to my eyes and I'm miserable. I went out to a lovely brunch with my mom in law and sister in law. The next day my Achilles heel and tendon are in agonizing pain. My doc today sent me down for major x-rays of my spine, both hips, ankles, femur, feet and anything else related to those bones. I have an in depth bone scan planned for next week.

We discussed my cancer. My CT scan showed the prime cancerous tumor has grown a little and I have a few new small ones. Nothing to be concerned with for now. I have an MRI booked for next week to check out my head and torso, it's been 2 years since they did an MRI of my head. My breathing/lungs sounded good. My reflexes were good and she (my doc)said that other than my injured leg I'm in pretty good shape.

So no new meds, no worries about the cancer at the moment, just trying to relieve the pain of my right leg.

Doc just called, I have an avusion fracture in my ankle. The tendon has torn away a piece of bone. Waiting to see if it's going to be casted or air boot.
