Getting off on the wrong foot!

So Monday I broke my foot... but I didn't just break my foot..  Instead I broke a small bone that connects my middle toe to my foot.  It is that bone that sort of sticks out.  How?  Well, juice is bad for you.

Seriously it was funny because I was going to have Miriam help me shop but I realize she is leaving soon so I wanted to do it all on my own.  It is hard for me to lift heavy things and bending so when I go regular shopping it is pretty tiring.  I would much rather shop for fun things.  Anyhow I was putting things up and I dropped a heavy container of Motts for Tots on my foot.  Of course it flipped so the point of impact was the lid and it directly onto that little bone giving it a very small hairline fracture on bone 10.

It isn't that big of a deal in the grand scheme, at least it isn't the broken shoulder/brain bleed combo of a few of months ago.  I do feel a little cheated.  It is like the cosmos knew I wanted a nice August before the big surgery and it had to go spit on me a little.  I have a brace and wrap.  Today Miriam helped me find a shoe that fits over it all so I'm able to ditch the crutches a little which is a must for me so it doesn't flair the RA in my messed up hands.  Mainly I need to stay off of it.  That is just really depressing.  I have so much to be active for right now :(  

On the bright side Chris has been a total sweetie to me and so have the kids.  Rachel kisses my foot every hour and Cally serenades me while I'm resting on the couch.  Harmon was awesome he got me a cone of ice cream.  He went with Miriam and insisted she get me one too. He affixed it with a 100 sprinkles.  It is funny b/c after x-rays and doctors on Monday we all went for ice cream.  I've had it each day since.  Life could be worse!
