The orthopedic doctor told me yesterday I have a fractured fibula and I shouldn't be walking directly on the foot. He said I need to wear a "fracture boot" for the next 6 weeks to protect it. This is actually very good news. Once it calms down, I can walk on it with my boot so some normal life can resume (within reason). After 6 weeks I will do some physical therapy to reduce the chance of future problems.
In hindsight, I should have gone to the clinic earlier than a week. I also should have asked more clarifying questions of the first general doc and find out if I should be doing anything differently (because it would have been nice to know about the fracture 6 days earlier). Oh yeah, and the hubs would want me to say that I learned to watch where I put my feet when I'm walking LOL. Overall, I’ve been happy with my first real experience with the healthcare system.
3/3
