Badass!!

As I mentioned in my post last week, my computer fell on my foot last Tuesday while I was at work. That same evening, I rollerbladed ten miles (yes, I've mapped this to be sure that is actually how far I go), on the greenbelt. When I returned to my car, the battery was dead. Being as I have no cell phone, I therefore had to walk all the way from Municipal Park to Fort and 8th, where my loyal friend Donna picked me up and took me the remaining 11 blocks home.

At my boss's insistence I had my foot X-rayed on Thursday. The doctor told me that I was fine and I should go home and put ice on my 'bruised' foot. I was fine with that, though I had no intention of staying off of my foot. Since then, I've walked, skated, ridden my bike, amongst other activities that required more than a little use of my bruised and swollen foot.

So you can imagine my surprise yesterday morning when I received a call from the doctor's office informing me that my foot is indeed broken. Apparently, the physician missed it on the X-ray (I saw my own X-ray as well and my foot looked fine to me, but what do I know), but the radiologist corrected him and pointed out the fracture.

So, I have to go back to the doctor today at three. My battery on my car is junk, and I can't afford to get a new one right now (well, let's just say I have other priorities and my bike works just fine for now thank you), so I will be riding my bike with my broken foot up to the doctors office.

I am curious to see just how bad this fracture is. I have a very high pain threshold, so it is difficult for me to judge at times if an injury warrants a trip to the doctor or not. It hurt like hell when it first happened, but while it was very intense, the initial pain was also brief. I'm rather glad this happened at work because if it didn't, I never would have bothered to go see the doctor at all.

This all strikes me as being quite funny, for some reason. I am apparently one tough, badass chick to be walking, skating,and biking all over the place with a broken foot!

Bow to me, weaklings! Hahahaha!
