1 hour on the bike, 12.75 miles.

I'm going to BEG the doctor to take this cast off at my appointment on Friday!  I need to learn how to do that smoothly shaking hands while slipping the dr a bribe thing! :-)

GOT MY CAST OFF!!  I am ECSTATIC.  My leg was the grossest thing you have EVER seen, oh my gosh, so hairy and scaly dry dead skin, blah!  My calf is so sad, all limp and no muscle!  My calf is half the size of my other and my ankle is twice the size of my other.  It is a HOT looking leg, let me tell you.

Anyway, not out of the clear yet, I got fitted for a moon boot and I'm supposed to wear that through the end of the month, though he did officially say I could ride the bike (I was kind of breaking the rules before), do range of motion exercises, and can walk more and more without the boot as the month goes on.  My next (last?) appointment is June 1, so hopefully that will be when I'm given the clear to start running again.

The xray looked good, he showed me today's vs. the first, and though its not all the way healed, you can see a lot of callus (my new word of the day) blurring up the picture, which I guess is a good sign! 

I'll be boot-goofin' for the next 3 weeks or so. :-)

well I successfully made it 5 weeks without coke zero, coffee, alcohol, ibuprofen, caffeine!! im proud. then I had all of those in 24 hours. ha. decided I could have a coke zero with lunch, then had my delicious bud light lime to celebrate the cast coming off with some friends, then had to have the ibuprofen from the headache that always ensues from having the beer! :-)

im going to give myself a break, but im certainly not going back to my old ways. theres definitely no reason for me to have 1-2 cups of coffee AND my coke zero everyday. I think only as a weekend treat now, max 1 of either (not both!) a day. I barely have the othewr two, those weren't the hard thing to give up (well, I guess the drugs when you're hurt!)
