jianantonicI guess my foot is a little better. I'm more mobile now - still not walking, but able to hop around without the extreme pain, for the most part. I realize I sound like a giant sissy about this foot thing, but it really, really hurts.
The thing that confuses me is this. People say it's not broken, because the swelling's not so bad, the pain is receding, and I'm able to sleep. Apparently all of those are indicators of non-broken bones. The leading opinion (meaning that Jeremy thinks this and is the only one that's had any ideas about it) is that it's a bone bruise. I'd like that. Just a bruise. That would heal pretty fast after the first few days, so I'm down with that. And I understand that bone bruises are a little different from skin bruises, but I just don't get how you bruise a bone without some major impact of some sort. I mean, all I did was misstep. At least I think that's what happened. I'm afraid I may have torn a ligament or eight, but I have no idea how to figure that out short of going to the doctor, which I cannot afford (and refuse to go into debt for until it becomes clear that this is not going to heal itself - I'm giving it a week).
In some non-foot news (for once!), I got my CULTIVATE PEACE bracelets in the mail today. You can order them from the hunger site (www.thehungersite.com). There's also a great store where you can buy really rad stuff and all the proceeds go to fund mammograms, literacy, environmental, hunger, and other various relief projects. *Hint* If you ever want to buy me a gift, that store is a safe bet;)
Anyway, time for Jeremy to give me my bath (how pathetic am I?) and maybe finish the first Harry Potter book today. We'll see.
Peace.
