!@#% Broken Foot

Sorry about your foot, Jer. I was hoping it was just a sprain.

That’s what you guess for chasing alll those women 😉 Seriously, so sorry to hear this and I wonder if your bones heal even slower because of the meds?

I am fortunate to have drank tons of milk all my life and my bone density test this past year turned out normal. Of course, I’m not on steriods.

Take care Jerimy!

Sorry you have to go through this during the holidays Jerimy. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Sue

Jerimy,

I’m sure a broken foot wasn’t on your Christmas list! Sorry to hear you got one anyway. Please take care of yourself and I hope you have a Merry Christmas anyway.

Hey jerimy,

I’m thinking misery loves company, dude. Cuz I ‘ve got a !@#% Broken Foot too. After falling twice in 2 days this past summer and rolling over my left ankle, I finally went to the podiatrist last week and she sent me for Xrays and an MRI. Found out at 3:45 today that it is a Jones fracture with torn ligaments and other soft tissue damage. I walked around on it in a compression bandage for the last 6 months thinking it would get better…not.

So glad you had the sense to go sooner.
She said the fracture would eventually heal and shot me up with cortisone with analgesic in. Man this puppy is sore tonight but I can but my full weight on it again. Oh and I get to wear the pretty blue shoe. (That’s the reason I didn’t want to go in, absolutely hate the pretty blue shoe)

And you are right about the steroids and bone density, I didn’t know that until my new PCP asked me last year about how much and how long I had taken them. Immediatley scheduled a bone density, take Fosamax and extra calcium daily now.

Here’s hoping you heal fast so you can chase the women again!!!!

[COLOR=”Purple”][SIZE=”2″]Hope your foot heals quickly, Jerimy. I think I’ll take the phrase “Give me a break” out of my vocabulary for awhile! Try to have a nice christmas…Here’s one from the tavern…[ATTACH]902[/ATTACH]Vicki[/SIZE][/COLOR]

I have arthritis and I broke the Navicular bone in my foot while on Steroids. That little bone really hurt!
My doc told me it is very easy to break bones while on them.
I don’t take them anymore but I do take calcium to keep my bones strong and keep from Osteporosis, which is very prevalent in my family.
So far, so good for me.

Jer,

I’m so sorry to hear about your foot! Nat, you too 😡 😡 😡 .

My GBS, and all the other bad things always seemed to have happend over the Christmas period. I hope you guys have a really GOOD Holiday time regardless of what you are going through.

jer, you know you broke your foot just so the girls will come to you!!!;) did you get tired of running after them, were they too fast for you?!:D just teasing jer! hugs hope you get better fast!:)

natalie, sorry to hear about your foot also. now how are you going to ride? i guess this means its up to me to get the chocolate!!! (you have to wait until i recover enough to be able to drive again, sorry!) do you want the usual or something different? hope your foot heals reall quick!

you both better stay out of the snow and ice-if we ever get some! BIG HUGS to both of YOU!!!

So sorry you have a broken foot. I twisted my foot on Dec. 11 and it is still sore. My PT said it wasn’t broken. I am so glad I had my Christmas shopping done and wrapped.

OK ~ I’m ready to join you all! This past Wed. a.m. I became violently ill with food poisoning; most likely Norwalk virus. I will spare all the details but 1 ~ I passed out twice from pain with dry heaves . . . And I lost over 6 pounds in just 24 hours so am “valiantly” trying to rehydrate and take some nourishment, be it ever so little 🙁 The medical people tell me that I’ll survive . . . Good thing my feelings don’t count at the moment 😀 Maybe in a couple of weeks I can meet Jeremy and Natalie in the tavern ~ do they still make “Shirley Temples”?? :p

It looks like it comes along with taking steroids. In August 2005, I broke the bone coming from the small toe, didn’t realize it because of the neuropathy. It got infected, wound up with osteomylitis and had a small piece of the bone removed. Surgeon said he almost had to remove this whole bone, but took a chance and did not. Sure glad it didn’t do this. Everything okay now tho.

Ron

Sorry, Jer, you broke your foot. Wish you a very Merry Christmas and a better 2007.

Peg

Judi, I’m so sorry you were so sick! I hope you’re feeling better again!

Love, Shannon

Thanks you guys! I am so much better but not back to GBS “normal”. My energy level has dropped way down and the legs are “buzzing” more than usual. Hey, it was a good time to remember how much I really have improved over the years!

As to everyone’s broken bones ~ remember that a cup of broccoli has more “usuable” calcium than a cup of milk. Good thing we’re not in the theater where they tell ya to “break a leg” 😮 Good wishes to all.

[B]Jer, how’s the old foot doing pal?[/B]

Eeeeek Jer ……… 😮

Jer,

I hope you mean commando on your foot. 😀 😀 😀 😀

I don’t know Donna, it would be a sight to see Jer going commando, anytime!!:D Hope your healing fast jer! and everyone else!!
No Broken Bones in 07!!!

Jerimy,

Sorry to read about breaking your foot, things are tough enough. Glad you are recovering, and hope this no snow weather keeps up for us in Michigan.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! BUDDY! My prayers for you and all of us, for the world needs it too! Jerimy, I’ll give you call soon…Paul.

Thanks for welcoming me back, forgot to put it on the other……DUH……..and sorry to hear about your leg, like,e we don’t have enough problems.

Neuropathy such fun…:mad: …. do not work on a garage roof without letting others know you have it or you might get your foot shot with a nail. I miss such “FUN” days.:rolleyes:

Glad you’re walking without thingee, be careful and don’t trip again.

Peggy

Jeremy,
I have broken bones 3 times in my feet since the summer of 2004, the latest was the day after Labor Day when I fractured my big toe & the one next to it. I was put in one of those open walking casts & told not to put any weight on it for 4-6 weeks. I lasted one day in that contraption & went back to my braces.
I lasted 3 weeks of no walking, but when I had to go to my best friend’s daughter’s wedding, I refused to go in a wheelchair. I walked & even did one slow dance. I guess the not walking at all for 26 months & the steroids infusions for 21 months all took their toll on me. Glad I finally got off of those things in Feb of 2004! I tried taking Fossomax, but I read too many bad things about it, so I just try to take it easy…
Pam

Jerimy,

You are always the first to volunteer to help others, so wanted to tell you that I would be glad to help you, if there is anything I can do for you.

Congradulations on getting rid of the bubble cast.

Best wishes for a break-free New Year!

Suzanne
