Wonderful things do happen, but only to wonderful people. This is a really a love story that has absorbed my attention as I, too, am smitten with the much of the Dordogne and would live there in a hearbeat if circumstances permitted it. Congratulations to you both.

Well, on my side, yes, there is a love story here - two, in fact. One for St.Cirq, the person (blush), the other for St. Cirq, the place.

I think I'm probably looking at surgery, nukesafe. A fracture of the calcaneus and four "large" framents, which I take to mean pieces that broke off and are floating around.
I've never had surgery

Fortunately runningtab has an excellent physical therapist, so we've got that covered.
TDude, MRIs are expensive procedures; I think the first step is usually X-rays, as they're easy and relatively cheap. Don't think I'll end up in Annapolis, but will let you know, and thank you!

Oh no! At least you know what you are dealing with now, but oh dear.
I went 8 months after falling off a horse before they discovered I had fractured four vertebrae. Seems hard to believe, but apparently these things are harder to figure out sometimes than you might think. I wish you the very best with this!

That's amazing, Toucan2. I'm still astounded that my X-rays were read badly, and that I was allowed to ramble around for 3.5 months with a broken ankle! I guess it's partly my fault for reporting "no pain," but really, with "four large fragments" floating around in my foot, you'd think the mecids would get a clue.
