Well, yesterday did not go as planned. We were hoping to wake up and Sterling's foot would be better. The shock of the fall would wear off and she would be able to walk. We hoped. But, not so much.
We elevated, iced, and wrapped it on and off all day. But, I noticed her foot was starting to swell, so after the A/C man left, we headed up to urgent care. Against her will.
She was so nervous because (1), she didn't want to be there and (2), she didn't want to get crutches.
After talking with the doctor, they did an x-ray and ruled the pain was from a chip fracture in her heel.
I think she knew it was worse than she was telling me because crutches never crossed my mind.n
Still nervous because she was told she was getting crutches.
She looks happy, right?
Not so much. She cried the whole way home from the doctor. She says we should've left the crutches there because she's just going to sit in bed for 3 weeks.
I don't think so, ha! She's so sad and mad at me that she has crutches. Because I took her to the doctor and she didn't want to go. #mamaknowsbest
I told her she really doesn't need to use them, she can crawl around like she's been or I can still carry her. Just if we go to a store, she'd have to bring them since I won't be able to carry her in the store.
Unfortunately her doctor visits are not over just yet. We are waiting for the Orthopedic doctor to call so we can get an official "what's wrong" answer. I'm hoping it's not really a fracture, because it will make for one long summer. I'll have to come up with a list of new fun activities that includes hoping around. And, we'll have to reschedule our beach trip. Which will be fine and still just as much fun later.
Do you have any tips on taking showers with a cast? What about fun activities?
