And the X-rays Showed . . .

. . . a broken bone!

No wonder the foot hurt so much.

That means another surgery to repair the break.

It also explains why my recovery was going no where.

I am doing a round of cephalexin (antibiotics) because the doctor wants to be sure I don't have an infection in there. With the redness and heat, she's not sure, so better to do the 10 days than to lose the foot to a bone infection.

After the 10 days, that would put us right into Thanksgiving week and I host the meal, so we're waiting until the following week to fix this foot -- again.

The pain is relatively gone since she immobilized it with an ace bandage and my ortho boot. Supposed to stay off of it and keep it elevated and iced, but can still do grooming as long as I don't hurt the foot.

So another surgery, whether I like it or not.
