A couple of years ago we were visiting my sisters house in Vancouver when my wife (Karen) slipped on a narrow step going from the kitchen to the deck.  We knew she hurt her foot but she managed to hobble around.  The next day we went to see a doctor and to get an x-ray.  The x-ray did not show any breaks.  On the way home to Regina she took a few turns driving the van (4 speed).  After we got home she went to see her regular doctor and got some more x-rays.  It turned out that the x-rays in Vancouver were of her ankle and the broken bone was in her foot.  She spent the rest of the summer with cast from her knee to her toes.  At least she did not need crutches.
Get well soon.
