Call me gimpy!

Well, I had this lump on the bottom of my heel.  It was about the size of a half dollar and about a quarter inch thick, and hurt when I walked on it.  After about three weeks I finally saw a foot doctor.  Swollen bursa, elevate and ice.  Well, I did that for about two weeks and it got a little better.  Then I walked barefoot out to my storage room and tripped over a wooden step.  Heard a snap and felt something crack.  Had bad pain in the top of my foot.  Wrapped and taped it up and hobbled around for two days.  It didn't get any better.  I was trying to wait for my next appt. with the foot doc - a week from when I tripped.  Finally thought better of that and called.  Turned out it was his day in another office fifteen miles away, but he would see me.  So I drove there, well first I got lost as usual, but I did make it by appointment time.  Yep, I broke the toe, and bruised two others.  Yep, I did the right thing to tape and ice.  Keep doing it, that'll be $40 please, come back in a month.
So now I'm alternating the ice between the toes and the heel.  Hobbling around with a cane and cussin' at the wind!
