Jogged for an hour in the Hydroworx pool. Afterwards, did some strengthening exercises for my left leg so I hopefully don't get quite so lopsided from only using my right for so long.

Talked to Doc Lyons about the foot. He had hoped that the fracture was minimal enough that a couple weeks without weight bearing would take care of things. But he's pretty sure it's more severe and will behave more like your average broken bone and take ~ 8-12 weeks to heal. LAME! So in another week and a half (4 weeks after the initial injury), I'm going in to get x-rays to see how well it's progressing. Then hopefully I'll get better news. But for now, I've got some NSAIDS to take and more therapy stuff to do and more time walking around on my "silver legs." Ugh.

sorry to hear the bad news Ruth, hope it heals soon, and way to stay dedicated and fit in the pool. you need to get me into that hydroworx pool sometime. I can't take anymore of this stupid water running in the stupid HPER pool. I am not a fish. thanks for the company today anyway!
