Go Amongst Your Gut - Together With Role A Damn Stride Stand.

Today's (OK, tonight's post,) postal service isn't necessarily diabetes related, but it is wellness related. Also: Go amongst your gut - fifty-fifty if you lot think you're overreacting in addition to it's likely nothing.  
#####
Last Th nighttime I was inwards my kitchen, getting the ingredients together to brand blackbean in addition to sweat-potato soup. 
It was the kickoff N’orester of the season, the current of air was howling in addition to the pelting was falling - it was definitely the nighttime to brand fresh soup in addition to and remain in. 
The dark beans were rinsed, the sweetness potatoes were cubed, the veggies were cutting in addition to all I needed was my favorite soup pot - which was perched on the go yesteryear shelf.

It was my ain damn fault. I should bring reached for the footstep stand upwards to attain my favorite soup pot on the tippy-top of the shelf. 
Sidebar & Visual Aide: I bring a 4 tiered shelving unit of measurement that is abode to all my cooking supplies. 
In the summertime I set the large one-time pots, the ones that are used for making soups, stews, in addition to sauces on the real go yesteryear shelf because during the summertime I’m all virtually summertime salads.   
Anyway, I was feeling groovy in addition to felt the involve to stretch out my limbs.
And every bit I mentioned, fav soup pot was nestled within an fifty-fifty bigger pot on the tip-top shelf. 
And piece I managed to see onto the innards of the kickoff pot amongst both hands, favorite soup pot started to wobble in addition to every bit I moved away from the shelf, said fav soup pot came careening downwardly down in addition to landed squarely on the go yesteryear of my foot.
It wound similar a motherf*cker in addition to I swear to God I saw stars, felt nauseous, in addition to screamed bloody murder all at the same time. I could experience the color drain from my confront in addition to I stood in that place crying similar a baby. 
Then, I got it together and checked for whatsoever damage. I took of my sock off and examined/ wiggled my aching foot. It moved inwards all directions - it ached on i part, where a real faint in addition to non thence large bruise was taking shape. 
Since I bruise if you lot aspect at me wrong, I wasn’t overly concerned in addition to fully expected it.
And similar the trooper I am, I took my 2d favorite soup pot ( because I was no longer on speaking damage amongst the offending favorite soup pot,) wiped the within out amongst a build clean dishtowel, threw some EVOO into the pot in addition to started sautéing onions, veggies, garlic in addition to spices. 
15 minutes after my soup was simmering in addition to I was icing my pes - which I continued to do for 24 hours. 
Cut to the weekend: My pes didn’t experience whatsoever worse nor was in that place copious amounts of bruising .... but it didn’t experience whatsoever better, either. And that itself was genuinely weird - that didn't experience right.
Also weird, my pes felt ameliorate when I was wearing shoes than when I wasn’t. 
Yesterday morning time my pes all the same wound in addition to fifty-fifty though it was likely null in addition to I was most probable over reacting, I called my Ortho...just inwards case. 
I kept telling myself that it was ameliorate to pass $50 on a specialist co-pay in addition to bring it live on null in addition to then to non larn in addition to bring it halt upwards beingness something. 

Here's the thing: information technology wasn’t nothing. information technology was most definitely something - something that's commonly real difficult to come across on an X-ray in addition to involves my navicular bone, in addition to which according to my Dr., is an incredibly tough os to crevice - unless of course, you lot go on to live on me.
Turns out I either bring a stress fraction or a os contusion of said navicular os in addition to I involve to larn dorsum on Tuesday for some other X-ray in addition to to notice out if it’s ii weeks inwards a distich or five weeks. 
The distich itself looks null similar a brace. It’s a malleotrain turn a profit flexible back upwards brace. It's gray in addition to majestic in addition to looks similar a compression sock sans the toe business office in addition to amongst silicone banding inwards it - I can  article of apparel it nether normal socks in addition to amongst my asics gels or my dressy apartment leather boots. 
I tin larn from hither to there, I tin drive ( yep, it’s my gas peddle foot,) in addition to I tin go out to dinner amongst friends. 
But I involve to residue said foot. No practice - lots of sitting in addition to no standing when I tin sit, in addition to no high heels. 
I’m non thrilled in addition to I volition acknowledge to beingness upset to the betoken of tears yesterday.  
But a twenty-four hr menses makes all the divergence in addition to I know it could live on worse. 
I bring ii friends battling cancer correct forthwith in addition to some other friend amongst a badly broken pes - I am counting my blessings, keeping my fingers crossed in addition to doing precisely what the physician tells me.
I bring no pick but to brand the best of it - I bring to larn far work. 
I bring a lot to do in addition to go plans inwards November, thence the fact that it happened forthwith is ameliorate than if it happened then.

So why am I sharing? 

Because this injury didn’t come upwards amongst a lot of bruising, I could behaviour weight on my foot, walked around in addition to had cracking bloodsugars all weekend, but my os was all the same injured.
And if I hadn't gone to the Dr., I would have found out later, when the os genuinely broke. 

So if something doesn’t experience right, larn amongst your gut in addition to larn it checked out.

And for God sakes, purpose a footstep stand!
