Guess who has two thumbs and gets to be OUT of the boot now?!? YUP!! This girl!
Went to the dr today and I've got a nice big bone callus around the fracture and it is looking quite nice. So, I get to kick the boot to the curb. I must wear sturdy soled shoes all the time now, but at least I'm out of that dumb, stupid, heavy, klunky boot!! I can do spin class with my hard soled spin shoes and walk on the TM and do pretty much anything other than running and high impact (so no heavy resistance and standing on the bike). I'm SO excited to be out of the boot it is unreal! YAY! However, walking and being able to bend my ankle is SO weird - this normal walking thing is going to take some time to get used to. I have an appointment with the PT tomorrow to get some exercises to strengthen my ankle and calf so that in 2 weeks when I'm allowed I can get back to running in good form! YAY! On my way back baby!
So, onto the nasty part of this entry (for my own crazy blogging purposes). So, baby has croup. blech. That I can deal with, but they gave him steroids to help with the breathing issues and dang my baby is SO ornery when he is on steroids. So, he went to bed last night and after 90 minutes woke up screaming. After 20 minutes I went and got him out of bed and all he wanted was milk, so I got him a cup of milk and he finally settled down and I let him sleep/snuggle in bed with dad and me. Well, this pattern repeated itself FIVE more times through the night. Once I thought I was done...completely done and so tired I just wanted it to be morning and it was only 2:30. Man alive, what a horrible night. So, when my alarm went off to go to the gym I just turned it off and tried to sleep for another hour and a half - HA! Anyway, so it was a long sleepless night and I never made it to the gym and I can't put baby in daycare to get it in during the day. Oh, well. A recovery day will do me good. Mentally and physically.
Thanks for listening to the good, the bad and the ugly today. I'm loving life out of foot jail! |
