Well, I'm back. Actually the trip to the ER from admittance to discharge took only 3.5 hours. Of course, every employee had to stop by the room to see the damage. Thanks!!
right from the doctor report:
Fractured neck of 2nd metatarsal right foot; fracture neck of 3rd metatarsal right foot; fracture base of 4th metatarsal right foot; fracture neck of 5th metatarsal right foot.
The hospital folk wouldn't let me have copies of my x-rays to show you guys.
Basically, I broke my 4 toes right after the first "knuckle" on them as well as broke the bone that connects my 4th toe to the foot. This one is what may need more work after the cast comes off, apparently. I see a orthopedic doc next week and go from there. No driving the 911 but I shouold be good to drive an automatic so at least I can get back to work ASAP.
Just to clarify: the dog didn't casue my fall by getting under me or anything like that. If he hadn't HAD to poop I wouldn't have been up anyway. Just one of those things that happen.
Funny story: my wife made chili last night so I was working on getting my blood pressure down while waiting to be taken to x-ray.
Sure enough, just after I lowered the ol' BP the young nurse came in to get me. My wife and I busted out laughing. Poor girl, not only did she think we were laughing at her, she walked right into it. Muwahahahahahahahah!!!!
man, it's been a long day now my foot really hurts. I gotta go rest it.
