True one-up-man-ship

By Fitness Freak - Posted on 05 November 2010

Well, with my partner out of training I have been slack. More slack than usual...

In fact, the day before yesterday, I even got myself a cup of coffee and headed to a comfy place on the lounge room floor. This is a sign that I am not taking care of myself in the way that I normally do.

The coffee is one of my first mistakes as it is something I need to avoid. I have a disposition towards addiction and caffeine wreaks havoc on my body first comes the dehydration, then comes the overdose from needing more fluids and then comes the late, late nights.

The second was the process that I sat down. Not that this is a usual problem but on this occasion it became the straw that broke the camel's back.

When I was about 14, I sliced my foot open on a piece of glass. This was an injury already subsequent to several breaks in my toes. Ever since that fateful day when I saw my own insides for the first time I have had problems with that foot, in particular, my small toe.

Yes, simply stretching my foot at the wrong angle would cause my little toe to dislocate and do damage to my soft tissue and nerve before popping back in. This would take days to recover and was destined to repeat on a regular basis. Then, there were the bigger injuries where instead of getting a stubbed toe the toe would dislocate and be pushed down the next bone before popping back or something equally gruesome that would take days to recover from.

Well, in my sitting down, I did it again. I am not sure if you can imagine this but I usually sit down on the floor without using my hands. Instead, I use my legs in the same way one would operate a scissor lift. Before sitting I cross one leg over the other and then lower myself to a seated position.

The process of lowering oneself like this is that the way that weight is borne on the foot changes significantly. In the first instance, weight is moved to the front of the foot and then, to the outside of the foot. This then leads to moving the weight to the side of the foot in the final few centimetres.

Two days ago, as I went to find a seat, my little toe decided that it did not want to roll so instead it dislocated again and rotated approximately 50 degrees inwards before snapping back after my decent. By the end of the day I had had enough and a lack of overnight recovery has prompted me to more drastic measures.

Yesterday, still in pain I arranged, in reverse booking, an Orthopaedic Surgeon to examine my foot today, X-rays to be taken late last night and an appointment with my GP to get referrals for both in the early evening. Now today I have a booking form for surgery in just under two weeks time.

I snuck a peek at the x-rays too and suddenly it all made sense. That deep cutting glass didn't just hoe it's way though muscle and cartilage, no, it severed off part of a joint as well leaving my foot open for dislocations at will. No wonder I have had these years of pain!

So, there is an upside and a downside to this story. The upside is that the Surgeon can do some work on my childhood burn scars at the same time to make shoe shopping, or rather, shoe wearing more manageable. This will be an exciting first!

The downside is that I am stressing out about anaesthesia. There are two factors playing into this. Firstly, I have never had surgery before like this and secondly, I have bradycardia - a technical term for a low heart rate. It is partly a fitness thing and partly genetic (I am sure) on my maternal line.

When I was just a teenager, on two occasions when my mother had surgery she flat lined. She was determinably gone for those seconds, possibly minutes, before they brought her back to the light of the living. When you are young these things mark your life and I am petrified of what most would consider a very low-risk procedure. My information pack says that I can speak with the anaesthesiologist about it which I am certain to do.

So with much intrepidation, my dear training partner, I will meet your medical trips from GP to emergency for bronchitis and raise you a day surgery procedure with a bung foot.
