Sunday October 14th, it was a sunny warm day.
After dinner I told my family that I wanted to go for a family walk.
Eli was whining and telling me that he didn't want to go.
So I grabbed his razor scooter.
I got on it and started going across the driveway.
I turned to look at Eli who was standing in the garage.
I told him he could ride his scooter and it would be fun.
I told him he could ride his scooter and it would be fun.
When I turned my head to see where I was going, I saw Lexi in front of me.
I quickly turned the scooter and went into the grass which caused the scooter to stop quickly.
The bottom of the scooter swung around and hit the outside of my right foot.
It knocked me over instantly.
Sean opened the front door just in time to see me fall over.
He and I both instantly knew that I had really hurt my foot.
I couldn't stand up and put any weight on it at all.
That night we iced it, I took Ibuprofen, I kept my foot elevated and we wrapped it.
Sean went and got crutches from our neighbor for me to borrow.
The next day we went to a foot doctor.
He tole me that I sprained my foot and would need to wear a walking boot for a few weeks.
And then I'd have a follow up in three weeks.
I couldn't believe how lucky I was!
The walking boot drove me crazy and it was hard for me to sit with my foot elevated.
After a week and a half, I started weaning myself from my boot.
The spot I sprained on the outside of my foot was feeling pretty good.
But the inside of my foot was hurt and burning and there was a bump.
At my next appointment, I had another x-ray taken of my foot.
It turns out that I was born with an extra bone in my foot that is completely useless.
It's a pretty rare thing. Anyway, that bone was dislodged in the crash and is now sticking out of foot.
And it's rubbing against my tendon, which is why my foot was burning.
They doctor gave me some anti-inflammatory medicine.
He was hoping that some of the bump would go down. It didn't.
I had a follow up three weeks later.
We decided to do surgery to remove the bone and repair the tendon.
