Thanks Holly. Torn ligaments and bleeding into the foot. Infection setting in and have to go on antibiotics. I'll know more tomorrow if I need surgery. Wasn't too hopeful when they kept checking X-rays and taking more, checking and taking more and more. Probably a dozen X-rays taken in total. Whole foot is now blown up from the internal bleeding. Need to keep it elevated and iced. I'm allowed to work tomorrow as long as I'm sitting and keep foot elevated. I refused the painkillers. Pretty good with pain unless I'm trying to sleep. Doctor said take 3 Advil before bed and see how it goes. 4 weeks minimum to heal if no surgery is needed.

As for the other procedures, well we got talking about tennis and it kinda got forgotten about (unless he wants to get the ankle thing done before the next level of torture). I'm sure I'll get caught when I go back next week. :)

Oh no! Sounds painful. Hope you were able to get some sleep - I hate those sharp, burning, agonizing pains when you're trying to sleep. Take care!

Sounds like you need to rest. Hope it heals quickly.

DiO'......Take care of that ankle. I broke my foot a couple of years ago, and didn't know it until weeks after when I turned the ankle and it swelled up like a weather balloon. I waited too long to have it seen to, and it still gives me trouble. Happens to be the same ankle that my daisy tattoo is on, so when it swells up the daisy looks like a giant hybrid.

Morgan.....I have no words......just lots of love and lights ♥

hee! Reminds me of my sister and her unfortunate Devil tattoo - that she got on stomach right by the belly button..

That was so freakin scary when she was pregnant, It became huge and the face would move around when the baby did. Horrifying! The eyes would pop out, I swear it would wink at ya.

You don't think about these things when you get a tattoo.. :Oo:

(she has had it removed) Thank Gan.

He said you can't walk, he didn't say you can't participate.....
Decorate and ride a scooter.....have the team pull you along. It could be fun

Yes! I was going to say this! It would be fun!

LOL You don’t know my girls. They’d be sure to crash the scooter into something, inflicting immense pain as payback for me making them run so much. And they hate running.

Vindictive bunch they are. :)

I actually love my tattoo. It only looks weird if I have a particularly long day and the ankle swells. I had the tattoo first, so the swelling couldn't have been foreseen.
