Yesterday was my 4-week follow-up for my broken foot. I went into the office, feeling good. I chatted with the doctor and she felt my foot and said that things seem to be healing well. I guess my fracture is probably an avulsion fracture.
She sent me down for a follow-up X-ray and it confirmed what I have felt: it is healing nicely! As the doctor said "I'm an awesome healer". Usually foot fractures have a 6-8 week healing time, but mine is looking good after 4 weeks! So doctor's orders are now: if it hurts, don't do it. That means, I wear the cast when it is sore, but I can wear good shoes if it feels fine. Yay!!
Interesting note, the 2nd X-ray showed my break much better than the first. A month ago, I thought the break was a little 3mm crack. In fact, the whole bone was cracked along the side/bottom (a good inch or so), with only 3mm showing at the top. No wonder it hurt so bad!
