Well...finally saw an orthopedist about my foot. Best case scenario, given the circumstances. Nothing is broken (though he honestly has no clue how I did the damage I did, without breaking anything), and I won't need surgery. However, I have another 2 weeks minimum on my scooter (after having been on it over 4 weeks). Foot and ankle are too damaged to put in a cast or boot yet (I didn't know that was a thing...). I'm on an anti-inflammatory to try to get the swelling down, then we'll re-evaluate in two weeks whether I can need a cast, or possibly can try a boot. I'll definitely need PT as well, though again, can't start yet due to too much damage. Nerves are starting to work again, and it HURTS! But, guess that's a good sign.
I did get a doctor's note stating all of this, as well as saying that it could be awhile before I can workout again (2-3 months, most likely, if not longer. Possibly next year before running again). I went to my Orangetheory studio to let them know. I was so sad about it! I miss it. Three of the coaches were there, so it was really great to see them again. But I miss it. Ugh!!! But for now, just need to focus on healing.
