Today I spent five hours in Doctors offices.

Whew!

The news is, yes.  I have a stress fracture.  I also have swelling inside of the bone.  I guess I just assumed that if you had a fracture, you had swelling. Seeing as he made an issue of this, maybe not?  Dunno.

I have to spend the next two weeks not putting my left food down at all~if I can help it.

That means two more weeks of crutches.

I am getting pretty good on those things!  I can go ahead, backwards and sideways both left and right!  Cool beans, huh?

I do have a tendency to get lazy for short distances and just gimp a few steps.  No more.  I received a mini lecture about doing that.  Crutches.  Do not put your left foot down.  Do not pass GO.  Do not collect $200.00.

Boy.  Ain’t that the truth.  The $200.00.  I had to peel off $300.00 today to meet my deductible.  Boo.  Lucky for them we just got paid and had the money in the account.

That is my report from the Doctor…Thou shalt not put thy left foot upon the ground for any reason, whatsoever, for the next two weeks.  $300.00 please.
