If it's as swollen as you say, they can't cast it until the swelling goes down anyway. All Breton Urgent Care can do is diagnose, medicate and send you to a specialist. What did you expect from them?

I thought you said they knew it was fractured in at least one place, and a 2nd place is suspect... based on what you communicated, they did everything that could be expected. :shrug:

Since she hasn't denied it, I'm going to assume it was wheelies.

:bs: how's the leg?

Well, the dr. and the nurse practictioner took a looky at the X-rays today and they aren't "sure" if I have one or two fractures or none at all. I've had two different operations on the ankle (tore all the ligaments and they re-created them by splitting a tendon and wrapping it around the ankle in 1997, I think) so since my ankle isn't "normal" they are referring me back to the dr. that did my second operation. He's in Baltimore and only does legs, from the knees down. I don't think I'll go. I have the boot thing to wear that goes up to my knee and I think I'll just use that for a few weeks and see if it heals. To those of you who don't know BECAUSE I AM SO EMBARASSED ABOUT IT, I did drop a bike on my ankle (not the Rebel) , going at 0 speed, don't even know how I did it cause it happened so fast, didn't damage the bike, but the ankle looks like hell. Live and learn. So let's not talk about me dropping the bike, k? I am so pissed I can't ride for a while.

:huggy: Hope you're okay. I remember the first time I hurt myself on a bike, and how stupid I felt. Don't give up!
