The bone that started it all

I never thought I'd say this in my life... but... I miss work!!!

Ever since I got this unexplained swelling on my foot, I have been going on and off work for the past 3 weeks. Until I came back from Shen Zhen and the doctor sent me for an X-ray then we realised it was "a healing stress fracture in the shaft of the metatarsal bone of the third toe". And trust the husband to get excited over it coz he said David Beckham used to be injured in exactly the same place as well. But then, who in the right mind will be interested in having the same injury as David Beckham? I'd much prefer to have the same amount of money as he does.

Anyway, since that X-ray, I've been given 3 days MC, and had been to the hospital to see a bone specialist (whatever the medical name is), then been referred to another X-ray imaging centre to do MRI as the doctor said it was not clear from the X-ray film whether there is any infection or growth around the fracture.

It was already about 4:30pm (we left the house about 9:30am) when I was done with the almost $900 MRI and the husband was running out of patience, coz apparently the MRI took about 45 minutes and in that time, I had been "needled" 4 times in both arms as the doctor needed to inject some kind of liquid into the blood and my veins were not very co-operative with receiving the medication.

Anyway, hope the MRI turns out fine, and I can go back to work, to shopping soon. I can't stand being at home for too long, other than the fact that I can wake up late. I miss the craziness of the guys at work, I miss the gossips, I miss the food, I miss shopping!!!
