Week 5 - Crutches Suck

So I sprained my foot yesterday. I went for a dog walk with my pet-sitter friend, and halfway stepped in a little ditch and landed so hard on the right side of my right foot.

And then I continued to walk because I thought I was being a baby and just needed to shake it off. All was well for the rest of the walk, got home and went about my business, and then around 6pm I left to go to bingo. I'm sitting at the bar with my friend Grace, and around 8, my foot started to ache a bit. By the time we left at 10, I couldn't put any weight on it and was near tears.

So Grace drove me to the ER and they took x-rays and decided that "nothing's busted," which is good, but it was pretty swollen and very painful, so they put me in a splint and gave me crutches. Now I'm stuck on my couch all day, and all I want to do is eat.

Also, I won't be going to my meeting tonight. I might weigh in at home if I muster up the will to take my splint off and hop (literally) on the scale.

I was worried that this was going to hinder my exercise for the week, but just getting back and forth to work on crutches is more cardio than I usually get in a normal walk. Not to mention my biceps are going to be huge. :)
