[Nfb-krafters-korner] I can't believe it!

[Terry Knox]

Joyce,
I am so sorry to hear about your right foot. I know you do not want to hear
this but I broke my foot two times also, but it ws the same foot two
separate times. I know this must be difficult for you to happen to the other
foot and I would probably agree for you to stay in for awhile. I know you
were really excited about your weekend and I am so sorry this happened. You
need now to again, rest and recover and stay put for awhile.
Terry K

Report in from Maryland.  I am not a happy person.  Cindy Z. and  I went to
Baltimore to the NFB for a "Leaders and Ledger seminar.  I feel  we did
learn some things and had the opportunity to meet Presidents and  treasurers
of affiliates and divisions.  Next week they will be having the  other half
of these folks come in for the same thing.
 
They even wanted us to be filmed in an advertisement for the Green
collection that NFB has joined in to make some fund raising money.
 
This is the bad part...  While walking out to the area that they  planned on
filming us, stepping off the curb on Wells Street I managed to fall  down in
the street.  I scraped my arm and got all worked up that I  hurt my ankle 
that I had broken.    They went into the NFB and  came out with a wheel 
chair and put me in it.  I went back to the meeting  and sat there with a
bag of ice on my annkle I had broken and finally got out of  that stupid
boot.  
When we had a break toward the latter part of the  afternoon, I got up out
of the wheelchair to walk to the bathroom.  Well my  foot on the right side
really hurt.[not the left side that was broken  before]  We went to eat
supper and then back to the room.  We had  another meeting to go to in the
evening, but after getting out of the shoe,  Cindy told me my foot was black
and blue and swollen on the right side.  I  decided to stay off my feet and
basically went to bed.  Saturday it still  hurt, but I went to all the
meetings and stayed in the wheel chair  Sunday  it still was hurting, my
blood sugars sky rocketed so I called my son before I  left for the airport
to tell him I wanted him to take me to the hospital or at  least for an
x-ray.  We drove to Stratford and went straight to the Med Now  [walk in
center].  It was empty at 4 PM.  I asked them if they take my  insurance as
there was a sign that 
they don't wait for medicare payments.   Well they told me I needed to pay 
the $50 co pay and bill the rest to my  insurance.  My son hinted that would
be the best spent $50 due to not  having to wait hours in the emergency
room.
 
The bad news is, I broke my 5th metatarsal bone.  The good news is I  can
wear this wooden shoe and walk on it.
 
Yep, it hurts, but I can live with it and some Advil.  Just need to  stay on
top of the blood sugars[broken bones spike blood sugars]
 
The only problem I seem to be facing is since May I have been telling myself
good foot up the stairs, bad foot down the stairs.  I did have that  down
well, but now feet switch leaves me standing and not knowing what foot to
lead with...
 
My sons think I shouldn't leave the house any more.  I tend to agree  with
them right now.  If I didn't have bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck  at
all.
 
Joyce
