Whew and Hallelujah! 

The metatarsal break is not very much out of alignment, so does not require surgery.  To keep it that way, I have to wear the boot up to my knee @24 x 7 (even to sleep).  Not too thrilled with that - but it beats surgery hands down!

I also need to use crutches for the next two weeks, then it will be x-rayed   The laceration is starting to heal well - so all is good with it, too.  Stitches may be removed in two weeks, too

Checked my level of Vitamin D and may give me a Rx strength of that for a bit.

All is good!

I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
