i've fallen and i can't get up...

ok, i haven't fallen. just wanted to give you all an update on my situation..

i went to see Dr. King at the Hospital for Special Surgery.. they've got some sports medicine gurus over there!

it was a funny scene because there are many people there getting hips and knees replaced.. old people. i was in the radiology waiting area sitting in a group of seniors that appeared to have all come in on the same bus. they were all talking about
colon cancer and tumors and -oscopys of all kinds. i felt like somehow my aging process was increasing at lightning
speed. when i thought i was going to scream they called me in for my xrays. the technician seemed as happy to see a young person as i was!

he took xrays of my ankle and foot which all came back clean. no major breaks for fractures. the next step is to get an MRI which is more likely to show a stress fracture (i'm still convinced it is not a fracture, but better safe than sorry). so we're waiting to see if oxford is going to pay for it or not. apparently they don't know that there are 26.2 miles on the line here!

in the meantime i am resting, icing and trying to lay off the girlscout cookies!
