It's broken!

Dan came home from soccer last night with a broken foot. He didn't have it looked at until today and the x-ray confirmed that it's broken. It's broken in a questionable spot on the outer side of the foot and Dr. Cheney (Libby, tell Nick thank you for me) suggested that Dan see a ortho foot/ankle specialist. That's just great. We are out of money for the year, so Cheney was able to not charge (thank you again). However, I'm sure the specialist won't be so accommodating. He doesn't go in until next week, so at least insurance will cover it, but that just means we will run out even more quickly and have to pay even more out of pocket for the baby visits and delivery and pedi appts.

Sorry for the doom and gloom, but I am not feeling well again and I really HATE soccer. There is rarely a game when Dan doesn't get injured somehow or come home needing to ice some part of his body. I don't get the attraction. Now he is on crutches for at least 6-8 weeks, more if the specialist says he needs surgery. I have a funny feeling I will be getting even less help around house now and much of the work I did with MIL last week will be thrown out the window.

Again, sorry for the gloom and doom, but hard to see the bright side at this point. Going to lie in a dark room for a minute and try not to puke.

Oh, that is terrible news! On the bright side, he won't be able to play soccer for awhile, right? LOL!
