Foot Fracture

It has been fifteen days since I broke my foot.



I am in love with a youtube channel and blog called Clutterbug.me.
She has great content for Home Management Binders, organizing and cleaning tips- if you need help in the home management area, her blog is one you must check out.
So in my effort to tidy up my kitchen I decide to put all my gadgets I normally keep on the counter into the cupboards and cabinets so my counters would be spotless.
Even the blender I use almost every day.
I decided to make myself a peanut butter, banana and chocolate protein shake- its seriously delicious. I climbed up on my counter to reach the blender, something I have done hundreds of times. I was sitting on the counter and when I turned to get off the counter I slipped, fell to the floor and heard the horrible sound of a bone cracking.
My feet were maybe three feet from the floor, but that was all it took.
The sad part, all of my family members were working or occupied and it was a good two hours before I was picked up and driven to an Urgent Care, where they did some x-rays on my foot, wrote me a script for Tylenol 3, told me to see an Orthopedic Doctor and had me hop out of their hospital.My husband  had to go back and get crutches for me because I couldn't put any weight on my foot.
Until he got the crutches I had a brilliant(horrible) idea to use the kids Cozy Coupe to help me scoot around the house, until it rolled out from under me and I lost my balance and hit the floor again. Take my advice, use a step stool, take your calcium supplements and don't use this little car as a walker.
