Runs with iPod

In a somewhat predictable turn of events, I mangled my foot some more when I went grocery shopping yesterday. I stepped down wrong on the left foot, it couldn't bear the weight on the weakened tendons, so the foot twisted as it failed to hold me, and ended up causing more pain. I finished my grocery shopping and had the longest walk home ever. Lots of pain.

I napped for 5 hours after combining wine, ibuprofen and numbing my foot with an ice pack. Below is the look of the foot. The photos don't really do the swelling justice, but it's there.




At this rate, I'm glad that I have a doctor's appointment next week. I'll have them take a look at it, and hopefully they'll have some kind of excellent advice beyond trying not to walk on it - which is next to impossible unless my health insurance will fund a taxi to take me to work each day.
