I saw the doctor today and his diagnosis was much better than I expected.

Good News: I do indeed have a fractured calcaneus but it broke in a nice, neat manner and I don't need surgery or a cast. So no metal frames in my foot. A little disappointing (might as well have gone all out) but that's ok.

Bad News: I can't put any pressure on that foot for three months. So the Couch Potato Club can induct me as their newest member. I'm not exactly sure how I am going to get to school but I have to keep going (I'm taking the rest of the week off and next week is reading week.) I don't know what I'm going to do about work either.

Better stop there, the bad news is out-weighing the good news and I don't want to seem like a downer. This is a great opportunity for me to get lots of writing done. Now I just have to search my living room for inspiration...

They gave me this really cool boot to wear when I'm at risk of being bumped (whch is pretty much whenever there is anyone else home.) It's a big solid thing with little air cushions in it to be inflated for support and comfort. It's pretty sweet.

I haven't been able to sleep more than two hours a night since breaking my heel because of the pain so the doc prescribed me with some stronger medication. I'm eager to see if that does the trick.

Well back to recovering...my favourite part of this.
