So I have been sitting in this very spot for about a week
now.
I fell off a ladder at work and messed up my ankle really
badly.
At first I was told that it was just a really bad sprang and
that within a few days it would be fine.
After 3 days of sitting here and there was no improvement, I
went back to the doctor.
If I wouldn't have
went back to the doctor I probably would be a work right now trying to
get up and down the ladder making my ankle and foot worse than what it is.
The doctor looked in my file and saw where to radiologist looked
at my xray a 2nd time and found that I had a previous break on my
ankle that had happen over 3 years ago.
A
piece of my ankle bone broke off and attached itself to a tendon.
While my
ankle healed the bone fragment “grew” to the tendon and my ankle.
When I fell the other night it pulled the two pieces apart.
So I was in a lot of pain and I need physical therapy.
Due to the fact that I did it at work Workmen’s Comp. is supposed
to pay for my medical bills.
Well they denied my Physical therapy and ordered me back to
work….and I still can’t walk.
So last night was the first night back to work since Monday.
It was awful. I had to sit on a stool at the register for 4
hours unable to get up and move around.
The only good part about going to work was getting out of
the house.
But I hated every minute of it.
I’m so ready to be about to walk again.
I feel like I have gained 20 lbs.
But I know it is just from the pain shots and not being able
to walk and move around.
I think I would feel better if I weighed less and I probably
move more…but I don’t and I’m going to fix that. As soon as I can walk and
move.
