I think I broke my foot.
About 3 days before we were scheduled to leave for Vegas I was taking the hinges off of the kitchen cabinet doors while precariously balancing them on the stepladder. One of them slipped and dropped from a height of about 2 feet to land squarely across my foot at the level of the arch.
I was pretty sure I cracked a bone, simply from the sheer agony at the time. But since then I still have pain and swelling over the top of my foot. It hurts to put a tight shoe on, but it doesn’t hurt to walk. It remains to be seen if I can even get my cleats on for soccer tomorrow night.
Anyway, I haven’t spent too much time doing lymphatic drainage on the foot, or icing it, or elevating it, or any of the other things I know to be effective, so maybe the residual pain is my own doing.
Don’t have much else to report right now. Just thought I would document that.

And yet, you plan to go play soccer on it! You are more determined than I. Perhaps ice and elevation after?

Ouch. I ran my foot over with a juice pallet once. But it never hurt beyond the initial thingy. Yay luck!
