Broken

I broke my foot yesterday. :( It was stupid--I fell a couple steps after getting off the bus. Apparently, the pull I felt when I put my foot down on uneven concrete (which caused the fall) actually pulled my bone apart. It's a fracture of my 5th metatarsal. Maybe I'll even show ya'll my x-ray.

So now I have an air cast, crutches, and I must stay off it. My poor foot is turning a nice shade of green.

I feel stupid and incapacitated--I can't stand, walk, get dressed normally. Who knew feet were so important ;) I'm chillin in my bed today to get ahold of myself. Tomorrow is a new day, and so is the next. But the reality is, I must spend several weeks on crutches, a couple months in this cast, and I need to heal so I don't need surgery.

Yes, it is a small dumb fracture, but it is in a tricky place. It may or may not heal. If not, surgery. Let's hope it heals nice and fast. I don't have time in my busy lifestyle for that, too. Between school, teaching, the business, etc, this adds another layer of craziness. That's why I'm staying home, at least for today
