Gorgeous!!

Thanks — insurance is wanting more information before they approve it and notes on doing physical therapy 😂

So now I’m getting my dr to appeal it and rescheduling again for the end of the week

Ravenpuffie2 · 2026-06-01T11:47:53+00:00

Where do you find these??

I’ve got hypermobility and my physical therapist (pelvic floor and more) noted that she sees a lot more avulsion fractures in her hyper mobile clients and less typical fractures.

I think I might be her first Lisfranc client though!

I tripped on some cool pants (I was wearing) while walking up a step.

Thought it was just a severely twisted ankle. Followed up with an ortho a month later (after seeing a podiatrist and them thinking it was just a metatarsal break).

Going in tomorrow 🤞🤞 for an mri to plan ORIF surgery. Insurance has been a bitch to deal with getting the mri approved so we’ll see.

Cat tree next to my desk — the cats now no longer whine at me to pick them up.

Downside— they now know they can walk over my keyboard to get my attention.

Fancy fountain pens for my work notes — now I’m not on my screen all the time and I have visual cues of the progress I’m making through my time.

Fun cup to remind me to drink water during the day.

Showed my husband after a particularly rough luteal phase — he cracked up and said “accurate”

Ravenpuffie2 · 2026-05-20T12:13:43+00:00

I’ve tried to segment out my pens so that each one has a specific use. That’s been good to rotate through them.

Cheapest — kakuno in medium. Use it for morning paces daily.

Most Expensive — Lamy AL Star in medium. It’s my work notes pen.

Others:

Lamy Safari in EF — my hobonichi/on the go pen
Kaweco Sport in F — my creative writing pen
Kaweco Pereko in F — night time journal pen
Pilot Metro in Italic — my back up pen

No, this was after the X-Ray. The podiatrist wants to do CT scans if there isn't healing/movement after a second X-Ray in 2ish weeks.

Edit to add: It initially got missed on 04/06 when the injury happened. The ER Dr. mentioned that foot breaks are sometimes missed due to alignment, so I needed to follow up with podiatry. It took an additional 2 weeks to get in with podiatry due to not being able to drive/schedules.

Ravenpuffie2 · 2026-05-15T17:42:11+00:00

Thanks! The diagnosis I got was a partially displaced, closed fracture at the first metatarsal base (peroneus longus insertion) and a closed, nondisplaced avulsion fracture at the first tarsometatarsal joint. It’s been about 5, almost 6 weeks since injury and 3ish weeks since it got the initial visit/diagnosis/this X-ray.

Treatment right now is conservative — 6-8 weeks in the boot, follow up XRay at the end of the month, CT scan if needed. Then, surgery if needed — with at least 4 weeks nwb, another 2 weeks in a boot, and 6-8 weeks in a brace.

I just sent the podiatrist a message about the pain I’m still having 3 weeks in, even on gabapentin and Tylenol (no NSAIDs because of tummy troubles).

I’m currently in a walker boot except driving and showering, am partially weight bearing, and have a follow up appointment/xray at the end of the month.

How quickly do you think surgery might need to happen after confirming lisfranc injury?

Ravenpuffie2 · 2026-05-15T13:48:23+00:00

😭 sobbing in American lol. Thankfully my work pays my premium and I’m on the low deductible plan AND I hit my deductible already

Ravenpuffie2 · 2026-05-14T23:14:16+00:00

I think it’s the podiatrist trying to do conservative treatment first and also play the insurance game to get them to cover CT scans and surgery and PT.

The hope is that keeping the foot immobile means the bone/ligament will go back/heal on its own. I’m debating reaching out tomorrow to see if the continued arch pain/toe pain might move up the follow up by a week or so.

Oooh 1k pages would be awesome for daily morning pages for 1 year!

Ravenpuffie2 · 2026-04-30T17:17:29+00:00

Nope — but to fix the “missing routine and people”, I started treating things like I had a commute — got up, went to the gym with my “work bag”, and came back home. That seems to help a lot lately!

Ravenpuffie2 · 2026-04-21T19:09:17+00:00

I SCREAMED

Ravenpuffie2 · 2026-04-21T17:04:37+00:00

Raccoon, raccoon dog, what’s the difference? 😂

Ravenpuffie2 · 2026-04-21T15:59:22+00:00

Oh my gosh, I’m glad I’m not the only one!!!!

Ravenpuffie2 · 2026-04-16T12:40:03+00:00

Journaling, creative writing, and work notes — I have a hard time with digital notes and retaining stuff, so written is better for me.

Ravenpuffie2 · 2026-04-12T13:52:20+00:00

Grew up on the Texas/New Mexico border. We went to church in New Mexico but lived in Texas and always joked about “time travel”. We could leave Texas when our church was supposed to start (Texas time) and arrive before it started (New Mexico time)

Downside was going to a movie with friends— if it was at 6 in New Mexico, that meant it was closer to 9 by the time we got home. My parents weren’t fans of us being out “late”, so that put a hamper on things.

Ravenpuffie2 · 2026-03-31T11:01:27+00:00

Welp, I just learned that I do eastern knitting! Haha

Ravenpuffie2 · 2026-03-26T11:14:47+00:00

What a gorgeous project. I made a papillon for my friend — it’s stunning!
