My Bum Left Foot...

Well, my foot was healing enough that I was able to run a few mile stretches at a time. I was feeling pretty good about it, until the fateful night of December 23rd. We were downstairs at my parents house, playing the WII, my bro downloaded Mario Brothers 3 on it, and we were each taking turns - that's got to be the best game ever - when we all headed upstairs - maybe for dinner? My dad was right behind me, and as I was heading up the stairs, I tripped, my foot plowed into the back of the stairs, and my dad and I both heard a huge CRACK! It hurt my big toe and foot, and it hurt to walk. I figured it would go away soon enough, and went on with life. On Christmas Eve, it was no better. I had Cherice check it out, and she told me to go get an xray. Because of where it was on my foot, and the fact that I could bend my big toe - with not much pain - she thought it was more in my foot. On Christmas afternoon, I headed to the instacare, paid my $25 copay, and got an xray. Here it is:
It broke a piece off right at the joint of my toe and my foot. Technically, I broke my toe, but it really just hurts my foot. I have a shoe and a boot I'm supposed to wear. No, I didn't take my camera to instacare. I was given copies of the xray to take to a specialist I'm supposed to follow up with (No, I still haven't made the appointment - nobody seems to be working this week, it will have to wait until Monday). Apparently they need to make sure it heals correctly. Happy Healing to me...will I EVER get to run again? I know, can you believe I just said that? Whoever thought I would actually MISS running?
