Final Approach
crutches suck, especially when slip-sliding around in 10" of snow ...
My supposed broken toe from 4 weeks ago was not a broken toe after all. I've broken a chunk of bone off the bottom of the foot, and it's floating around in there getting all crunched up and staying swollen and very painful. Saw the podiatrist, got new x-rays and now it's 4-6 weeks on crutches, and probable surgery to remove to bone fragment, because "it's most likely not going to heal together", he says. The hoped-for outcome is scar tissue will capture the bone fragment and hold it in place.
Getting old ain't fer sissies...
