You have GOT to be kidding me!!!!

I just have to put this out there- because I don't know who else to tell it to that would totally understand besides you, my classmates!!

A tiny bit of background info: I have had arthritis since I was 5 in my legs and feet. I do real well with it for the most part. Had 4 joints in my had replaced and one fused.

About a week ago my foot started to hurt on the outside midway between heel and inner end of toe. It was pretty bad by the end of a day of running around on it on cement floors to where I wasn't moving too fast at all. By Sat I had been off it all day, so it felt pretty good when I was out pacing talking to my son on the phone when all of a sudden it bent funny, excruciating pain and I gasped at which time my son says- didn't get your foot looked at yet? I said no, and he asked what I was waiting for, and then proceeded to tell me he would talk to me when I got it looked at and gets off phone. I tell my daughter that, and she agrees with him- BLACKMAIL!!! It worked of course. Off I go to the Urgent Care Center and doctor bends squeezes and pretty much else, none of which hurt. I stand up and OUCH!! So he ordered x-rays.  When the tech tells me- "I am not allowed to tell you anything" I know he saw something. When the doctor comes in and says to me- "come out here and look at these x rays with me", I am really sure. I was thinking maybe stress fracture or pulled muscle. So we look at the top one which he proclaims to be a "little odd", the one from the outside which is also a "little odd" and the the one from the inside angle. He says- see this bone here? I said yes, and he points to an area a little ahead and he says- "it's not there". So, I go- where is it? Well, my fellow classmates- that is the 64$ question!!! Where is the bone????? Clearly not the empty black spot!! Well, at least I know why my foot hurts when I put weight on it. Now, I am waiting to see a specialist/surgeon this week.  oh for joy. 

Shockingly enough aside from being slowed down cause it hurts, I am ok, even with the possibel scenarios he painted for me. This is nuts though, that's for sure... And that is how I ended my week
