Broke my bone, but not my heart!

Ok, well for those of you who were worried, don’t be I AM alive. I went down on my foot the wrong way during the final part of the finale of the final show in Restoration (great timing, right?). I knew it was broken because I couldn’t wiggle my small toe or flex my foot without pain. Thank you so much to everyone who helped me down stairs and with my stuff. I love you guys! My roommate took me to the hospital and I had a fun time making jokes with the nurses (Katelyn was a help with the fun aspect as well) and was able to tell several of them about Restoration!
The doctor first thought it was something to do with a ligament along the edge of the foot that’s common among dancers, but when he took the x-ray, he said it was quite impressed with the fracture. for all of you science geeks out there like me, it was a spiral fracture along the 5th metatarsal shaft. That means it looks much like the picture here, except it’s on a small foot bone shaped similarly to the bone here. It’s actually kind of a pretty picture! but the way that the doctor explained it, he said that this particular type of fracture on this particular bone is extremely rare, but by the looks of the way in which it fractured, it should heal fine on its own! Coincidence? I think not! I may have been hurt physically, but in the best possible way!
