Update on my foot situation

[speedyhobbit]

Well, I iced my foot last night while I was on the computer after getting back from perinatari's gorgeous, very high up hobbit hole... and I went to sleep, praying to God it might feel better in the morning

oh wow! Take care of that foot! If you don't see the doctor about it, at least wrap it in a supportive compression bandage, keep it elevated whenever possible, ice it more today, then use moist heat after that -- and take some ibuprofen if you can stomach it for the pain and, more importantly, the inflammation

Hobbits with injured feet are serious business -- poor dear **hugs**

*huggles back* Was actually looking back at this in a moment of being all reflective on my track career and boy did this mess that up big for a long while! I partially tore a tendon in my arch called the flexor hallucis longus that made my whole arch collapse and that knocked me out of running for nearly a year and I'm STILL not totally back where I was though getting there!! The name flexor hallucis longus... man did I WISH I was merely hallucinating! =O To this day that was the absolute worst pain I've ever had from a sports injury.

I had a broken toe like a year later and if
I had to repeat one of the two I'd definitely go with the broken toe!

Sounds like you're in the same foot boat as me, friend. I hope everything works out! (and I understand the embarrassment of being passed. I got passed by people walking up the subway stairs today. I wanted to crawl under a rock)
