Clumsy Girl in a Big Boot

Well, the story is that I had been having tightness and soreness in my right foot for about a month and a half or so that I thought would just go away.  Then, one day it swelled up.  I called a podiatrist that next week because the swelling still hadn't gone all they way down.  They couldn't get me in for two weeks, so finally today I had my appointment.  They took x-rays and checked my foot out.  It was still swollen, but not quite as sore.  They think that it is a ligament/soft tissue problem.  

Now, they put me in a boot for four weeks that will prevent my ankle from moving, and put me on a prescription that is supposed to stop the inflammation.  I am supposed to go back on January 6th to see if I can take the boot off in time for my trip to Cabo on the 8th.  Now, I am in this boot, in the freezing weather with my toes sticking out.  I am going to have to wear a big, thick fuzzy sock on my right foot to keep my toes warm.  I am also afraid to walk because it has been pretty slick out lately.  I can just see myself losing my footing in this thing and falling.  I am clumsy as it is without a big, bulky boot on my foot! 

In other news, I am just taking a break from studying for a final that I have tomorrow.  I have had several presentations and papers to get done, and finals to study for.  Thankfully, I will be completely done next Tuesday.  Can't wait!

Sulley is doing well, we are still struggling with potty training, but I am sure that will come with time.

That's all for now, better get back to studying/writing papers!

Be back soon!
