ltmurnauThis morning I went for an X-ray and yes, the fifth metatarsal (the long bone about the length of a finger that's behind the little-toe bones) on my right foot is shattered. Fortunately, though, foot bones are already quite well-splinted and supported so I do not need a cast or anything like that. It will need a tensor bandage for about two weeks, then it will take another 4 weeks or so to heal completely. Meanwhile I just walk as much as I feel I can, otherwise take it easy, and here, have some Tylenol.
So, things don't seem so bad today. This will not screw up my trip to the desert (seven weeks hence), no cast or anything required, and I am getting positively and perversely proud of my ability to tolerate pain (though I am getting less and less patient with unsolicited pain like this).
Yippee, in a relative sense!
Hamtaro is gonna pay, though. The bastinado for that little rodent!
