Well, its Monday and I'm still alive! I think I had a delayed shock reaction to all the pain from re-setting my foot Friday. After I posted I didn't feel good and was going home, I called hubby to come get me. When he arrived at the office, I was passed out on the floor! I was white as a ghost and cold sweating. He got me home and into bed. I didn't get out of bed until this morning! My foot still hurts like hell!!!!! My arm and wrist is bruised and sore. I have bruises and ouchies all over from the fall making it very difficult to get around on the crutches. Hubby sat me on a five gallon pale this morning with my foot hanging over the tub and sponged me down and washed my hair so at least I smell better!  
I made it into the office today, I'm sure I won't be able to work all day but I'll do what I can. I called the specialist I saw on Friday and he is in surgery today but will call me tomorrow. I'm going to ask him for more pain meds, I'm almost out of the vocodin I had and no one has yet to give me any pain pills for this!! I'm also going to ask him if the improper care I got in the ER is going to result in further complications. At the very least, I'm writing a letter of formal compliant to the ER dr's supervisor. I am not one for frivilous law suits but he judged me unfairly and I truley believe my care suffered. I don't know if I have legal grounds or not but at least I will make others aware of his attitude and let him know its NOT ok to judge and treat people like that! 
My hubby drew some pretty flowers, a bubble bee, a ladybug and a butterfly on my purple cast! So at least I have something pretty to look at when I look at my mangled foot! The dr didn't think it was going to need surgery but he did say it was going to be a long recovery. 
Other than that, I'm about 6 days into my cycle so have until the weekend or so before I need to start the sex-a-thon! Anyone have advice for baby making in a cast??!! Thanks for everyones responses to my original post! I laughed at all the other "klutz's" out there!!
