I wanted to let you all know that my foot, thankfully, is NOT broken! Getting x-rays on my foot was a bit unnerving however. I hope I don’t have to go back any time soon.
They weren’t clear if it was a strain or sprain but they are thinking it was a bad strain, which I’ll take given the circumstances. Still quite sore, especially when it rubs up against my leg brace, but I at least feel some improvement today.
To thank my bag of butternut squash for its emergency service as an ice pack, I will eat it with dinner tonight. After all, that’s the dream of any bag of vegetables, right?

So happy it is ls not broken, since walking with a cast would be a nightmare. However, sprains are worse since it takes so long to heal. Good thinking on the frozen bag. works wonders. please take care and hopefully healing is swift for you. Love, Aunt Madeline!
