LisFranc Injury Sucks!!!

Never have broken anything before until last week that is. Yup it's going to sound like I'm a total idiot, but basically I took shop till you drop literally when I took a spill down some stairs while shopping at the Leesburg Outlet!!!! Totally sucks. I just had Surgery yesterday so I'm hopped up on pain meds and keeping my leg up. One pin, one screw, and one plate later in my left foot. It's going to be 5-6 weeks on crutches YAYYYY!!!! 3-4 months of walking around in an space boot well looks like one anyways and on a crutch. Then Physical therapy for another 5 weeks and oh joy another surgery at 6months later to remove all the hardware. Cannot resume normal physical activity or wearing heels till after 1 year!!!! Yes the heels part is a tradegy!!!! None the less I'll be blogging about this. It's been one week since the accident and I'm having major cabin fever!!!! It's amazing another thing I've realized through this is who my real friends and family are, because it's amazing how many people could care less to even inquire how I'm doing, yet I've always been a good friend!!!! Oh well live and learn! Better to figure this out sooner then later. I'm trying to stay positive and strong and hopefully I'll get through it quicker then others.
