Another Month??

I HATE THE BOOT!!! I mean, really I am grateful to my dad for lending me his boot, but I HATE not being able to walk! I went to the doc today only to be given the choice of a cast and crutches for 6 weeks or the boot for an additional month (and I'm supposed to use my crutches with it AND NEVER TAKE IT OFF!). Boo!! All I can say is that I find it sad that not only will I be starting school like this, but it will almost be my birthday before I have hope of walking! Just depressing. 

Did I mention that what started out as a "broken toe" - ha ha (NEVER TRUST DOCTORS IN SOUTH AMERICA) is really a whole collection of things wrong throughout my foot? I have a broken toe, torn ligaments, stress fracture and a mid-foot sprain. And after six weeks, it 
continues to bruise, swell and not heal in general. I am lamenting the moment I ever met that piece of driftwood. Or rather chose stupidly to run in the dark. As my husband lovingly put it when he picked me up from the airport, "You know you can't walk in daylight. What made you think you could run in the dark?" And what's worse is that I can't even argue with that logic. He knows me too well.
