Injured Foot Update

kybearfuzzOn Sunday, I went to the track. It was a beautiful day, so I went for a walk in the morning. I also wanted to test to see how well my right foot was healing. Walking didn't hurt, but I needed to see if I could run. So I tried to jog the straightaways on the track. I looked like a trotting duck and my ankle was not happy with it. I tried to run a few more times to see if I could work the soreness out. Again, no real luck.
At this point, I decided to go to the urgent care that day to have my ankle looked at, worried that I may have a hairline fracture of something. The urgent care was good, my wait wasn't look, and I was fortunate enough to be seen by a beautiful and fit daddy bear. Seriously, he was a hottie and his kind demeanor just amplified his looks for me.
He felt around on my ankle and decided to get an in-house x-ray. The x-rays showed no break, so he slapped an air boot on my right ankle, told me to take ibuprofen for pain, and stated I wasn't to do anything beyond walking for a week. The boot is ill-fitting and sucks, so I'm wearing it sparingly, alternating it with a compression bandage (my alternate choice for the boot in the doc's office).
Today, my ankle hurt even worse. The boot presses on the sore parts instead of cushioning it. So I made an appointment with an orthopedist on Friday to see what he'll say. Hopefully, I'll get a cortisone shot to fix this faster as I'm getting tired of the hobbling.
On the bright side, it rained and stormed today, so softball games were canceled and I won't miss tonight's games. I hope to be better by next week.
