Give Me a Break!

Lee had a two-week follow-up appointment for his rolled ankle on Friday. When the doctor from Instacare came in he read the notes on the computer and said we were doing a follow-up on the "fractured fifth metatarsal". Fracture!!! This is the first we have heard about that. Apparently the x-rays they took two weeks ago were not read until after we left because they were busy (we were there for about three hours), and nobody thought to call us! Now Lee has a boot/cast on that he needs to wear for four to six more weeks. The doctor said this is a tricky bone to heal correctly, so Lee can't mountain bike, water ski, or as he said "do anything fun" this summer. It's a good thing he did a Moab trip in March.
