Tuesday 11th June

It's official, my foot is broken.   The doctor ran off a print of the x-ray for me.   I kept staring and staring at it.

I marked the area of the fracture.  As the doctor said, the bone snapped then sheared off.    Ideally I would have surgery on it, but this isn't an ideal world, so I have got a boot like cast on it, and the doctor will see me next week

 I had to take the boot off to drive home, now I can only take it off to bath.  I am not sure how I am going to sleep tonight.  I am certainly going to look for some sleeping tablets.

Before going home I went first to the Senior Centre and Kate has loaned me an absolute cadillac of a walker.

 It even has brakes on it!!   And a seat if I get tired of walking and want a rest.

I also went to my doctor, my new best friend, to thank her for fixing up my appointment with the orthopaedic doctor, it was a huge favour because she not only waived her fee, but didn't charge for the x-ray, or the boot either.   I feel so blessed sometimes at the kindness and generosity of Americans willing to help me.

This evening there was a dinner given for the hospital volunteers, and held at Larry's church.    Larry and his wife picked me up, it was a nice meal, and entertainment, it was very pleasant.  Pattisue was there too.   But I am now more than ready for my sleeping tablets.
