Like I really have time to be doing this

Yeah, so i'm only on here b/c "blogger" wouldn't let me post on carolyn's blog anonymously...as if i were going to do a drive-by blogging and swear at her or something. 'cause that's SO my personality...

It is Sunday, and i'm at home b/c i have a possible stress fracture of my right leg. The nurse practitioner (that does not even remotely look like the correct spelling, but i checked, and it's right) said that the Xray showed a "questionable area", which basically is another way to say, "I have no idea what is wrong with you", but still sound like you know what you're talking about. :)
I kid. She was actually the nicest nurse EVER and took the time to answer my incessant questions, such as, "But will I be able to RUN again??", even though how could she know, when all she can say is "questionable area" about the Xray? But she was cool, and I will most definitely request her if/when I go back to the Health Center. So i'm going back to meet with her and the sports medicine doctor tomorrow morning to find out what it is and all that good stuff. If it is in fact a stress fracture, I will probably need a walking boot...which, as you may have guessed, is a boot made for walking....all...over...you. And i'll need that for 6 weeks. keek. This is running (no pun intended) into my summer!!! On the other hand, I just want to get it fixed, b/c this is a recurring running injury from over 3 yrs ago, and I want it healed so I don't have to worry about it anymore.
So in the meantime, I'm on crutches, at least for the weekend. And, let me tell you, HOOOAH, crutches. My whole upper body is sore, as well as my palms. So basically, i'm walking around on it anyway, albeit gingerly, just so i don't have to deal with the freaking crutches. which, yes, i realize, is probably less effective, but hey.
All this for running for like 20 minutes. Silly me, I thought maybe I could run after 3 freaking years!!! and probably the Tae-Bo didn't help, either. DOUBLE TIME!!!
