OW!

I hurt. Do not ask me what I did, but I hurt. More specifically my left foot hurts bad enough that I can't put my full weight on it. This started Friday, but got much worse today. Basically the pain is centered on the outside edge of my left foot with a focus just in front of my ankle. I have limited mobility of the joint, moving one way hurts, another way doesn't. The most telling factors though are that neither my foot or ankle are swollen or show any bruising. So I'm not sure what's up. Heck, I hurt *less* after having a 350lb motorcycle land on my other ankle...for that matter I hurt less after having Bluebird (519lbs) land on me too.

A suggestion I received is that I haven't actually hurt my foot, but my back and the pain is manifesting in my foot. This has a good possibility as I did three computer swaps at work recently, one Thursday and two on Friday. Quite a bit of lifting and carrying involved, with steps. I don't recall pulling anything or feeling sore Thursday, but that doesn't mean anything.

I've dug out my crutches from my knee surgery to gimp around on until I can call the doctor on Monday. I'm not dying enough to go to the emergency room.

So even though it was a glorious day here, I was stuck laying in bed and napping a bit to see if that helped. I've decided to go back to the other bed because the back pain was preferable to this and I really need to be mobile to clean and paint.

The only pluses for today were that we finally got all the parts for Bluebird so we can put him back together finally (not that I'm in any shape to ride right now, but...) and I scored a 4GB Sandisk flash drive at Best Buy for $53 :)
