This is me at the end of night one of our haunt, we are open the 30 and 31st...
I managed to get some pretty severe blisters on my right foot from the haunt then woke up yesterday morning and stepped down and put all my weight on left foot which then stress fractured along the outside edge of the arch. I do not have a good foot to stand on now!
I have a walking boot and a knee scooter until the Dr's decide if I need more treatment for the stress fracture.
We did raise $5370. 00 for our local food bank!
Hope you are all doing okay.

This is a link to an awesome news story that our local news station did.
Ebay will tell you that you are going to an offsite link and you have to click continue but I promise that it's a safe major news network link.
The best news story we have ever had!
@denise15601 We are a very basic set up compared to what many of my fellow haunters here in AZ do. Some of their displays are truly amazing. I went to Phoenix with a couple of girl friends a few weeks ago to check some of them out. It's about an 1 1/2 hour drive from Tucson, I had to laugh that it was the first time in about 30 years that I got home at 1am.
I was so happy that the reporter did such a great job and will be using it for advertising for next year. We've never had a news reporter come at night when we were open, only a newspaper photographer that would hang out for hours.
@whotoldya. Tens is great for my back for the muscle spasms. I had it on all night for our Halloween haunt. I find it works best if I put it on before the spasms start as it helps increase blood flow.
I haven't used Tens on my foot yet. Dr said just ice and keep it immobile and stay off it for now.
I did use tens on my ankle when I broke it in 2015. It helped to reduce the pain and swelling better than ice.
And much better than the torture that PT tried to have me do... put my foot in a bucket of ice water then ran electric current through it...that hurt so much!
@denise15601 @whotoldya. Sorry to hear that you both deal with compression fractures.
My foot is on the mend. Just using the walking boot now and not the kneeling scooter.
My Dr referred me to a rheumatoid specialist who was supposed to call me.... I guess I'll have to call them.
He wants to see if they think I should start the twice a year injections.
Have either of you had those?
I tried the once a week pill a couple of years ago and it gave me real bad migraine for several days.
