My Experience With Plaster.

Greetings friends of ReadCash, your friend Joselin greets you, I hope you are wonderfully well.

I know that many of you have already had the opportunity to read in my previous posts that I had an accident last year. And today I want to detail a little about my experience in these "involuntary vacations" (as I call them).The truth is that I had never experienced anything similar to this, except for the time I was sick with gastritis.

I had never been immobilized in a cast or anything like that. Not even at the beginning of the pandemic was I at home for so long and even less without being able to do anything, I think that was the most boring thing of all at first. It all started on November 9, 2021.

I had taken a bus at 5:20 am, as always to go to work, at 6:00 am I arrive at my usual stop to take another minibus, when I try to get on this last one I do not support my foot well, I slide and I hit the right side of my foot.

At these moment I feel terrible pain, I try to get on the bus again since the bus did not start, I sit down and endure the pain, I do not complain or anything, until I get off at the work site, and my friend tells me: almost you fall. And I answer her: almost no, I slipped, she notices that I'm limping and suggests that I go back to the house, however I tell her that I'm fine that, only I stepped badly when slipping

I go into the locker room, I change, I put on my safety boots, and I enter the work area, at that time we worked in a food products warehouse for supermarkets.

After a few minutes of having admitted to the area, the pain got stronger and stronger until I told one of my co-workers to help me to talk to my supervisor, because I was can't stand the pain. At that moment he sees me, I can't even stand to speak, well, my tears fell from the pain.

My supervisor asked me: if something happened to me there, and I honestly tell him no, and I explain what happened, he tells me that since it wasn't an accident at work, my company's accident insurance couldn't cover it, he gave me permission to retire and that's how it was.

I sincerely prayed to God that it was nothing serious. I thought that maybe it was a sprain, I got home and I consulted a doctor friend, he tells me that with luck it is a third degree sprain, but that it could probably be a fracture.

I seek a second opinion, I consult a physiotherapist with whom I treat my spinal pain, since also, i suffer from that. She think the same as the doctor.

So i decided to go to a health center to rule out the possible diagnoses, when taking the corresponding X-rays, it was indeed a 5th metatarsal fracture.

When the doctor diagnosed me, my reaction was to cry, because he said that I should have surgery and the operation at that time cost approximately $1,500. Obviously he didn't have that money or the way to get it, I earned $250 a month.

I ask what other alternative do I have? And he tells me that he can place the cast to prevent the fracture from moving further, but that it does not ensure that it fits well. I felt really bad about it.

He continued, put the cast on me and said that I must have it on until I have surgery or at least 1 month; Going up to the apartment where I am renting was quite difficult, since it is located on the 4th floor and there is no elevator, but, I managed to do it.

The next day my friend went to another health center to consult another specialist, well, we were very worried about the operation, since the previous doctor said that the operation was necessary, but it was not to save money or anything for the style, I just didn't have the resources for that operation. The other specialist gave us hope, that with the cast I could recover and that encouraged me a little more.

And so it was, I kept the plaster that the previous doctor had placed on me and he told me to go to a doctor's office, after 4 weeks. In order not to make this publication more extensive, I will continue to detail you more in subsequent articles. Thank you for your time and God bless you!
