Kaiser kinda week!

Where do I start….I had a pretty crazy week last week! My darn foot was still getting on my nerves…but I was obeying the doctors orders and starting to put light pressure on it as the week progressed!  Coincidentally, I had an appt with my family physician to have a planters wart frozen off my toe (I know gross but hey what can I do?) on Wednesday. My family doc is amazing, Dr. Delo…he’s been with us (my family) for many many years and truly cares about us! He caught mom’s breast cancer, my cancer, deals with our depression issues after Paul, and seriously treats us like the royal family…he’s amazing!! So to make a very long story short he made me get my foot re-x-rayed to find that I in fact did NOT have a severely sprained foot…I have a freakin’ fractured metatarsal! That’s NOT what I wanted to hear. He ordered me to go to the Ontario/Vineyard or Fontana Kaiser immediately to have it casted in a REAL, non-weight barring cast for 4-6 weeks! Totally bummed…especially since we had our last river trip of the year planned.  Yosh talked me into waiting to get it casted until we got back from Laughlin…heck I did walk a 5k at Light the Night…3 more days castless wouldn’t hurt right?! haha  So today when we got home from Laughlin I made my way to Kaiser to get my cast…bummer! This girl will be takin’ it easy for the next couple of weeks.  I’m currently looking into renting a “knee walker” so I can get around a little easier (check out the link…I’ll be like one of those hot old ladies on one!! haha)

It was a total Kaiser kinda week…Just so happens both my doctor appts were scheduled this week…my family doc on Wednesday w/ Delo and my regular oncology check-up on Thursday. I love my Dr. Chan appts…he goes over my blood tests w/ me, chats, makes sure I’m healthy and sends me on my way. I love it. This trip he of course asked what happened to my foot…so I told him the embarrassing story of falling while dancing at a bar. He told me that he was seriously very happy to hear that (hahahaha how funny is that)…he likes to hear about me continuing to live a fun, happy life post-cancer…he said that he was proud of me and proud that I was living a fulfilling life! haha I thought that was kinda awesome! AND he also graduated me to 6 month check-ups. Pretty stoked! No longer going every 3 months…now its every 6 months…before I know it I’ll only be going annually! Saaweeaaat! So next oncology check-up is the big 2 year…can’t wait!

More later about our last river trip of the year!
