Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Hi All... This is Larry Holmack from Houston now...not New Orleans any more :-(!! Just letting y'all know whats up. Well...I'm sitting at my computer and for the 4th straight week I'm in a cast. The 5th metatarsal in my left foot break while I was at work. No accident or anything...I sub teach now in the Spring Texas ISD...and I was walking my kindergarden students to thefront of the building when the bone snapped. It is broken up high on th efoot, right under the ankle and is a pretty nasty break. Orthopedic Doc says the body doesn't supply that area of your foot with a whole lot of blood and it can be a long time before it heals. I go back in on May 2nd, and if its not healing I get to have an operation to have a pin put in to help it heal. Its a non-weight bearing break..so I have been stuck inside for almost a month now!!! Luckily I have had 4 good weeks in a row with my RA...mainly I guess since my doc gave me some really powerful pain meds and I don't feel much at all when I take them. He's just worried my RA will increase the amount of time it takes for this bone to heal. I just tell him not toworry so much...I've always been a fast healer...told him to check with my orthopedic doc in New Orleans and my old one in El Paso. Other than that..we are doing okay here in Houston. Its not home but its where we are right now.
