Katie's Doctor Visit

Wednesday, April 11, 2012

Katie went to Legacy Sports Clinic Yesterday for her appointment. Didn't have to wait long and the Doctor got his cutting machine out and cut the cast off. Then it was down the hall for xray and within 5 minutes Dr. McKay was reading the xray. He showed both Katie and I where the break was and you could see it clearly. Dr. McKay said he was not crazy about the location of the break and said if it doesn't heal it could be troublesome for Katie. He said the goal was to get her in a boot rather than the cast and so he prescribed a boot for Katie. She has to wear it for the next three weeks to see if the break is going to heal at all.

So now we only had to go back to the waiting room and next door into the store where Katie got fitted for the walking boot. What a piece of technology that is! Looks like a robot foot.

The nice part of all this is that the whole process took less than an hour, instead of the two days in Texas.

At any rate it was back to work for Katie today, and at least she can take the boot off for baths and when it is bothering her.

I may post again in three weeks after the next Doctor appointment.
