Oh, Jen, how awful!
And boy can I sympathize because I did the same when JR was about 3. Stepped badly and broke my 5th metatarsal.
Be glad they didn't put it in a full cast and tell you to put NO weight on it. That happened to me and we have 2 flights of steps outside our house and another inside!
Here's hoping for a quick healing!

I know they already told you this, but stay off of it as much as you can - otherwise it takes FOREVER to heal.
Thinking of you - bet this isn't he vacation you planned on!

Ugh, I did NOT like being on crutches when I tore up my ankle three years ago. I'm sorry :(
What video games are you playing? :)
