This is mainly for me to keep track of progress. It seems like it got worse over the first couple of weeks!

Day 1

Wheelchair, crutches, walking book, splint, ace bandages – you name it, I’ve got it. But mostly im in bed with my feet up.

Week 1

Week 2

Bruising along the foot and up the leg.

Day 18

Week 3

Finally seeing some real improvement – swelling down quite a bit, bruising has lightened up.

Week 4

SIDENOTE: My husband went back to where this happened in Troutdale, OR – they have painted the curb and put up “Watch Your Step” signs.

Week 5

What Happened?

I stepped off a curb and rolled my right ankle – tried to catch myself with my left foot and stepped rolled my foot forward so my toes were bent under my foot.

Left foot fractures:

  • Calcaneus
  • Navicular
  • Cuboid

I also think the left ankle is sprained, not as bad as the right but definitely bruised and swollen.

Right ankle:

  • Tiny fracture of lateral malleolus
  • Sprain
