Last night I got a call from Robbie saying that he hurt his foot at volleyball and thought he needed to go to the emergency room. So, he met me at my apartment, we jumped in my car and headed to Baylor. He was so manly, man {told them his pain was only a '3'} so I decided to take pictures to document in a post on my blog. The things we do for our blogs... :)
First they got his ID bracelet & vitals and then put us in a room. {With a TV remote that did not work. Boo.}
So, we talked, laughed, played on our cell phones and waited. And waited. And waited. They finally came into his room and took x-rays of the foot. And then we waited some more. {We were the ONLY ones there...what takes so long? GEESH!!}
Then the doctor came in a told him he has turf toe. Ouch. That's a severe sprain & tearing of the ligaments. So, they gave him a sweet boot to wear...cool. For a few weeks...not cool.
Now, I realize that it's not super fun to look at pictures of feet but the boot is too funny not to show the before and after. Do you think they make that in Prada? Ha Ha...
Even with the boot on, we had one happy patient. I think it was the term "turf toe". So manly, man.
The patient is doing well and resting at home today (doctor's orders!) with ice on that foot. Get well soon, Robbie!
Kelly,
