Walking Boot

Last night, the Lone Star Girl tripped and fell funny on her foot.  It didn't swell up big or turn any particularly interesting colors and she could walk so we thought it probably wasn't broken, but it hurt a lot when moved a certain way.  We iced it all night and today it felt worse instead of better, so we visited the urgent care clinic.  They didn't even x-ray it, also thinking it not broken, but gave her a walking boot and instructions to take large doses of tylenol and see her pediatrician in a couple of days.  She says the walking boot makes it feel very much better when she walks.  Right now I have her elevating it on the couch with ice, eating pizza and raspberries.

Pizza and raspberries are lovely, but ouch, what a price. Healing wishes for the LSG. FYI, I've been using Traumeel since I sprained my ankle last November.
