3 Broken Toes x_x (up: 07/23) Dropped 300 pounds of M'Elodie speakers onto my right foot from a height of approximately four feet. Multiple fractures, and one break so neat and clean that it looks like you chopped half of my toe off and placed it a centimeter away from its original position when you look at the x-ray. Who knew setting up for church could be so dangerous? ^^; I'm taking a few days off of work on doctor's orders and I have to keep my foot elevated, so no pixel-work for me either, as I can't even do halfway decent pixelling on my laptop. I've got my foot in a "boot" instead of a cast and they've given me a prescription for Motrin and Valium. Prayers for a speedy and uneventful recovery are appreciated. Ow ow ow. 07/04: My primary physician, upon looking at my x-rays, noticed that my bones are thinning. He's having me run several tests to see whether I have degenerative arthritis or lupus. Am a bit upset at the possibilities, but trying to stay positive with the help of friends and family. 07/11: A game of fortunately-unfortunately. Fortunately, my primary physician called me today instead of letting me fret over the weekend, wondering how the bone scan and lab tests came out. Unfortunately, his news was such that I'll still be fretting over the weekend, but for a different cause. Fortunately I do not have degenerative arthritis or lupus or gout. Unfortunately there is a possibility that I have a bone-eating cancer. Fortunately my physician does not think that I have this cancer. Unfortunately he can't be certain, so I'll be going in for further labwork and an x-ray tomorrow to (hopefully) rule it out. "Mottling of the skull" is a chilling phrase. I also have moderate to severe vitamin D deficiency (not enough milk and sunlight) so I'll be on some elephantine levels of vitamin D supplements for about two months. I thank you all for your comments. Prayers and well-wishes are, as always, much appreciated. 07/23: The labwork and x-ray came back normal! Hurrah for being bone-eating cancer free! Thank you all very much for your comments. heart drinks some more milk

	I hope you have a fast recovery! Lucky you didn't hurt the bones in the foot and just got the toes. <3 (Even if that doesn't sound much like luck. x3 )

	OK, guess being in church isn't a forcefield against injuries. But it is good to have a community to help you through things. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

	That's terrible! But I guess its better to have a clean fracture than a messy one. My best wishes to a painfree recovery go out to you. crying

	Take it easy so you can heal quickly. And next time, make the guys lift the heavy stuff. wink

	I agree with Nobara. I learned that fractures (clean break) heal a lot faster than stress fractures (multiple breaks). What? They gave you motrin? Is that even strong enough to not feel the pain? gonk Good luck with your recovery. Don't think there's anything else I can say. emo
