We saw the orthopedic doctor and he hardly looked at the X-ray or the ultrasound. He asked Scott one questions, "When did you hurt you foot?" Scott told him about the achilles problem, but the doctor was not satisfied. "When did this happen?" Scott did not know. The doctor then declared that he had not torn any ligaments, because if he had torn them he would know exactly when it happened. When we asked why the swelling, the doctor had no answer. Scott was directed to go home, stay off his foot, take ibuprofen and to keep it elevated above his heart. Right! We have an appointment to see this doctor again on Friday.
Scott was good at keeping off his foot today, but lousy at keeping it above his head.
I have asked the kids to fast for Scott from noon Thursday until noon on Friday. We absolutely do not want to go home because of this foot problem.
