On Friday I twisted my ankle. I ended up going to one of Fairview’s Urgent cares here in Minnesota. I had waited till Monday before going in, normally I will wait 3 to 5 days after being hurt. Why because seeing doctors are expensive and the only time I don’t mess about is when it my asthma. If I get sick and have something effecting the asthma I know better then waiting around. Other wise I am in good health. Just asthma and allergies, and sometimes a higher white cell count. I have always been like that since I can remember, they believe it due to the allergies and asthma so no worries. I hardly get sick unless I get a upper resp infection. Usually when I fall I don’t break anything.
On Monday I went into urgent care, got the same doctor from my fall at work. I fall at work a few weeks ago, so this was seriously the last thing I needed. I was able to walk out that time with no need for equipment this time I walked out with crutches and a Air Cast. I had fractured the bone, and he had told me I needed to see a Foot specialist. This worried me a little because if it’s a simple fracture why do I need to see a foot specialist.
They referred me to the guy next door. So I went the next day. I saw my xray and boy was that fracture very tiny and I was surprised at the amount of pain it caused until the Foot doctor told me what else was going on with me. I managed to bursted my ligaments and tendon, okay that answers all the swallowing and pain when I put any wait on it. I was worried that I would suddenly need to pay for a surgery with out insurance. Thank Goodness he said right away there’s no need for surgery. I was able to loss my crutches and was put in a walking boat. It feels so much better then the aircast and jumping on one leg which is probably still healing since the hib and knee started hurting badly.
I will have to say I am proud of them for not trying to take advantage of someone who had no help to cover everything under the sun. They referred me to a out reach program but the problem with that is for a 2 person family seriously I don’t know any couples making that much money. My husband and I make a little more money, and honestly we bearly make ends meet each other, we do but heaven forbid get into trouble. We have a saving account for emergency and I already used part of that for some things.. I will have to start putting money away agian. We have been using it for visiting his parents, and paying of my college and now this. I feel bad that everything is happening to my husband and I.
I wonder if DNA testing could maybe help determine if a person is going to be susceptible, I just wondering if our DNA can tell us more then who we are related to, but are we also susceptible for other stuff.
