I’m sitting here in the ER, waiting to get my foot x-rayed. Because, you see, I did manage to live through the half marathon, but think I might have broken my foot during the process.
Actually, I think I ran it on a broken foot, because I am smart like that. I injured it more than a week ago, and it’s just gotten worse since then.
So here I sit, in a hospital gown, blogging. Tell me, what about a foot xray necessitates a hospital gown? I think it’s a psychological trick to make sure I know who’s in charge or something.
I’ll let you know what I find out, although I am going to be very embarrassed if the doc tells me I sprained my ankle and should take some motrin, which I suspect will be the case.
Update: that is exactly what happened, and now I feel like an idiot. And a wimp.
Yikes! Why did you have to go to the ER? Why not a podiatrist’s office? No hospital gown and no ER co-pay 🙂
The fact that I am an idiot has already been well-established this morning, but thanks.
Nothing says,”Welcome Home” like a visit to the ER! Hope you are okay!
Bummer! But, if you need a laugh while there…here are some things to look for. http://www.rednecklatte.com/2010/02/er-the-tv-shows-a-lie/
UP
I would never have thought to go to the podiatrist. When I think x-ray, I think urgent care or ER. So I would have done the same thing.
But on another note, this is why you should listen to me when I say EXERCISE IS BAD FOR YOU!
oh no! 🙁 feel better!
Eh, well. You never know…it may be cheaper in the long run (no pun intended!). I hope that’s the case…
RICE or BRAT or whatever it is your are supposed to do. Heck, I’d eat some ice cream! 🙂
