Captain Cartwheel

I am now the owner of a sexy bionic foot.  My foot actually looks likes I mugged a Star Wars Storm Trooper, amputated his foot and stuck it on mine.  Maybe I did, maybe I didn't.  I went to TRIA today for follow-up and spent way longer than I anticipated.  I had more x-rays which came back inconclusive.  My pain is apparently indicative of a fracture, so the doc ordered an MRI.  The MRI showed damage to two ligaments in my foot, and no apparent fracture.  The doc says it's still possible I have a teeny, tiny, eensy, weensy fracture but it doesn't show up with imaging. 

It appears I will be impersonating a Storm Trooper for the next couple of weeks.  The good news is I am allowed to walk in the walking boot, the problem is it really freaking hurts to walk, afterall I haven't done that in awhile.  I'm combating the problem by crutch walking; but I hope to lose the crutches soon too. 

I have been quite impressed with TRIA, both in my visit today and another recent visit for my other foot.  If you find yourself in need of orthopedic care I recommend them highly. 

In other news, my first adventure out of my parents house in the last 6 days occured last night when my dad, brother, future sister-in-law and I went to see How to Train a Dragon.  It was great; it had heart, humor and action.  Good times.  I would definitely see it again. 

Oh, and my experiment has ended on day 30.  If I had only picked the month of February I would have succeeded.  I wasn't planning on the MRI or results happening today, but they fit me in so what was I supposed to do?  Wait to eat lunch until close to 4 p.m.?  Oh well.  One time in 30 days is probably OK right?  Grrrr.
