well it's official... i broke my foot. it is currently in a splint (which is pretty torturous b/c i can't get to half my leg and i can't move my ankle at all) and i have 2 days to make an appointment w/an osteopath who will further diagnose me. hopefully they will not say i need surgery. that would mean i have to wear a cast and stay off my foot

doc has been great so far. he was actually getting a little frustrated b/c i wasn't accepting help at first. but i'm getting better about it. i am doing my best to look at this as a growth opportunity. and the odd thing is that i *know* he likes feeling needed. he *likes* doing things for me (or others really). and normally i just do for myself. not always the best thing.

in other news, the things meant to help me are hurting me more than the broken cuboid! the splint is literally stabbing me in the heel. and on top of that, the crutches are at exactly the right height to get caught on the stay of my bra on the side and pinch my skin between the stay and the crutch. oy! only a few more weeks of torture i hope. i plan on learning to let ppl help me as soon as possible so i don't have to learn this lesson again any time soon!

yes, it's basically torture for me to *have* to be waited on and have doc do stuff for me. oddly, when i'm hale and hearty, it's fun! but knowing i can't do it for myself makes it 'dependency' instead of 'service.' heh. but i'm doing my best to learn to accept the help.

well, for now, i have no choice about taking it slow. literally... but i'm not gonna be stupid about it once i get the cast off. i will be taking it slow. i'm hoping by being very good now, my body will heal faster...
