Day 15.  2 weeks down, 4 to go.

How can I change my blog options so I can enter bike miles? I see other people can do that and I can't for the life of me figure out how to do that.  Anyway, I finally got an exercise bike off of craigslist, so I did an hour of that today, said I went 10.75 miles.  I was not sweaty at all, (it said I only burnt 200 calories) but it was nice to do SOMETHING finally.  

Doctor called - I don't have cancer or anything else scary!  MRI came back fine, it was a stress fracture gone bad.  So that is EXCITING!  He said I could walk on it, just stop if its hurting.  He didn't seem too interested in talking to me or answering questions which was frustrated.  And no appointment for 3 whole weeks, so I'm just going to pray that they just take the cast off a week early!

Glad to see you are actively keeping that aerobic base up in whatever ways you can. I am so sorry this happened to you! So, does "stress fracture gone bad" mean there is a visible break?

There is an awesome bone-building broth recipe in the diet book I am always pushing: Garden of Eating by Matesz (sp?). Good luck!
