*sigh*

i had a bit of a fall the other morning. it hadn't gotten any better for a few days and seems like it might've been worse today than saturday, so i went to the ER. (i *heart* somerville hospital ER. they're fast and friendly.) they took three x-ray views of my foot, one of which looked like it was showing a small fracture on the second bone in from the outside. so they gave me an orthotic thingie to keep my foot from flexing too much, and a pair of crutches. and i'm supposed to keep weight off the foot, or at least mostly off that part of the foot, at least until i talk to my podiatrist.

*sigh*

that's the first time i've ever heard anyone say anything positive about somerville hospital. i wonder if they've changed?

sorry to hear about the foot -- hope it's better soon!

i know a bunch of folks who've gone there for ER stuff (generally major cuts and other straightforward trauma) and had really good experiences. for weird internal stuff, i'll go over to mt auburn, but i figured this was pretty simple -- x-ray the foot and tell me if it's busted. i believe they've merged with cambridge hospital, and they've taken good care of me the couple of times i've been in there. (once about 2.5 years ago, once 20 years ago.)
