Horrible as it is to be clumping about and distressing the cats, yay! for getting treatment!
Somewhere lurking in my formative experiences is a, well, middle-aged, and quite possibly younger than I now am, but they seemed old then, warrant officer with a medical speciality pronouncing "they can't fix feet" with an emphasis appropriate to enunciating the doom of all that lives. It stuck with me. It stuck with me in part because it's apparently still factual; feet are this implausible collection of small bones and connective tissue and doubtful angles, and there is not much fixing them. I can't say the, but certainly A failure mode for that kind of small break of the metatarsals is that it never knits and walking is never after free of pain. I can't see you wanting to go mermaid at all, really, and very much hope it's a fate you entirely avoid!
