Yep. It’s amazing how pain relieving just getting to the clinic makes it.
He took his own X-ray of course.
Two small breaks on the outside bones.
Big News: no surgical repair needed. Just a stupid boot.
I’m happy.
On to Tacos!!
Yay!
Glad to hear it! Enjoy your deserved Tacos!
This will require a generous contribution. Just don’t call it “Hush Money”.
So the whole plan was to break your foot in order to get tacos? Sounds legit to me.
Klingon curses are the most effective. Qu’vatlh!
Heal fast, Beck.
First time I broke my foot (yes, there have been multiples), I called immediately and got an appointment at the nearby orthopedist’s office. I struggled in there - think I had a cane - and stood at the front desk to check in. I did not dare sit down, as I was afraid I would not be able to stand back up to collect paperwork.
The receptionist looked at me in concern and said “Are you all right?”.
“I think so. I’m not swearing in English yet!”.
:step: :wince: SCHEISSE!!! :step: :wince: SCHEISSE!!! :step: :wince: SCHEISSE!!!
“Tabernac” is another option (common epithet in Quebec).
But the monosyllables really do the BEST job - you can spit them out sharply as needed. Hence my choice of “scheisse”.
Glad to hear your injury is the “put it in a boot” sort, not the “cast” or “surgery” sort (i’ve been lucky that way myself). You’re of an age where osteoporosis becomes a concern, like me, so keep up with the calcium. I know you’re diabetic, so a big honkin’ carton of Haagen Dazs is not your friend, but a low-carb option might be satisfying.
Das Boot for four weeks? That’s just enough time to watch the movie! (Director’s Cut)
Looks like high vitamin/mineral Ensure is the best I can do.
Yum. Medicinal flavored yuck milk.
i find germanic languages to be the best. even saying goodbye sounds horrible.
perkele!
Cats hate me.
Boot clunks around like magnetic space boots.
Weighs about 20lbs, feels like.
It’s ugly.
I hate shoes indoors.
My cute socks don’t show.
I’ll have a thigh muscle like a wrestler after 4 weeks.
But …my foot don’t hurt.
So, I must be happy or high on pain meds. I’m smiling.
Thx, for you guys concern. You’re sweethearts. 
Who ever invented this stupid boot needs to have to wear one daily.
It is the most uncomfortable, unwieldy and clunky-est piece of over kill boo-boo fixer, ever.
At least it can come off for showers and sleep.
That’s the only thing that saved it from being in the pond. 
BTW- overpriced and hard to fit for a narrow foot.
(Screaming inside)
Sorry. 
Bad bad bad Beck been booted!!
(My GLUTs are sore, too)
How long do you have to wear the boot? Fractured or broken anything is a major hassle, but at least you don’t have a fractured rib! I got a good kick in the ribs that produced a fracture many years ago when I was guilty of pulling my son away from a video game and trying to put him to bed. I’ve concluded that having daughters is much safer.
4 weeks. As far as I know.
I’ve had broken ribs. Easily one of the most painful things that had no treatment that worked.
Would it be better if you had one for the other foot too, to make it symmetrical?
I thought of that.
I thunk, well, I’ll put on a high heel shoe and click clomp, click clomp.
Probably trip myself up and break something else.
I’m waiting on the 3rd shoe to drop, now. No need to hurry the process.
That is hilarious.
I have a daughter-in-law who came back from a trip to Disney World in a boot. It’s the Achilles tendon, so it may be awhile.
May you knit quickly.
Red, Six Inch Heel, Size 9 Narrow?
aww, c’mon Beck…couldn’t ya have used another “B” word for us?
We’re all grownups here.
Bitchin’ bout my butt?
