Long…long….long day today. I was so busy at work. I only sat down about 20 minutes for lunch in the whole 12 hrs. Those bones I broke in my feet…man…they ached like crazy all day. Still do. I had what’s called a Jones fracture, which is a bad fracture to have in that it usually doesn’t heal well. Unfortunately, I was in school and I absolutely couldn’t miss, so I walked on it anyway, even though I wasn’t supposed to. So I ended up with what’s called a non-union. The bones didn’t heal together. So, the doc wanted to do a bone graft. Wanted to take bone from somewhere else and put it in the area that didn’t heal to try to stimulate new bone growth. 3 months rehabilitation. 3 months off work and out of school. I refused. I couldn’t do it. So, I hurt. Especially days like this. It’s hard walking on those concrete floors all day. It’s worse when you’re busy like we were today. And all complicated stuff. Whew…just glad it’s over.
Went to the gym already. I much prefer going earlier sometimes. I hate getting to bed so late!
Did my circuit tonight. Basically the same as before. Weights increased slightly. I’m still wanting to move to the free weights. That would be so much better. But it’s SCARY over there. I’ll figure it out when no one’s there!
Just wanted to give props to my friend Coley. She’s awesome….never once thinking of giving up no matter what. It takes a lot of courage and determination to walk this road and win this battle. She’ll make it. I know she will.
