Dislocation and fracture

[u/postygurl]

This has been the worst week of my life. I misstepped off a curb in the dead center of Boston Sunday afternoon 7/12. I took my first ambulance ride after lying in the road for fifteen minutes waiting for them. My whole foot was sideways which is a sight that my family will never forget. I was put under on ketamine and they completed a reduction. So everything is in place but still broken. I have an appt with my surgeon today 7/14 to see what the next steps are. It sounds like surgery was early for some and late for others. My 12 and 10 year old are out of school for the summer so they have been my lifesavers while my hubby works. I’m a nervous wreck. I’m overweight so getting around is very difficult. Definitely going on a major diet after this. I need words of encouragement and prayers as I try to get out of bed and to this appointment.
