My foot looks much better, the bruising is almost gone and the swelling has subsided, but my toes can't bend very far without a lot of pain. The doctor told me the muscles and tendons in my foot would take a while to heal. I banged it up pretty good when I fell on it. I think of myself as excessively clumsy. If you've seen the movie "Ratatouille", I think I'm very similar to Remy's wanna-be chef friend, Linguini. Our family went to see it on July 4th, and while watching it, I leaned over to Joshua and said, "That is totally me!" Joshua says "no way" but I think I am. I've fallen down the stairs before but somehow managed not to hurt myself until my birthday. I'm just lucky it wasn't broken. (KNOCK ON WOOD!)
Like several times the last few weeks, this morning I tried again to take a jog around the neighborhood. At least I could actually run this time but I didn't go as far as I had hoped. It's been difficult not being able to exercise. Before my fall, I was in a good habit of running 4 - 5 times a week for thirty minutes a day. Most of this last year, I've been enjoying running on my treadmill downstairs or if the weather is nice, running outside around the neighborhood. Hopefully soon I'll be able to run more and farther. I'll try a little more each day. I think it's the best way to rehabilitate my foot.
