Outside the comedy club
With two fellow communicators Hannah and Kate
So let’s see. Wednesday I woke up in Chicago and my foot hurt. BAD. The foot that I hurt a couple of years ago (fun fact: the last time I visited Chicago in September 2008 I was in a medical boot due to said foot). Anywho, he diagnosed me with Bursitis, and found a fracture of the fibular sesamoid.
So let’s see. Wednesday I woke up in Chicago and my foot hurt. BAD. The foot that I hurt a couple of years ago (fun fact: the last time I visited Chicago in September 2008 I was in a medical boot due to said foot). Anywho, he diagnosed me with Bursitis, and found a fracture of the fibular sesamoid.
See the one labeled #15 – that’s the fibular sesamoid – mine was not a little kidney bean like in the photo, it was split in half (hence a fracture). After being in a boot, doing what I was supposed to, not wearing heels and even being more careful working out/running – all was good. Until now. Maybe it was the cold weather? Maybe because I’m not on a consistent running schedule my foot has reverted back to it’s old self? (bratty, uncooperative, weak) Who knows? All I knew was that I needed to stay off of it – so I did. I just went to Giordano’s for an insane slab of Chicago-style pizza and read my book. Then I walked a bit around town before calling it a day, heading to the airport, finding out my flight was delayed and then flying home… where I realized my car, which had been in the parking deck at the airport, had no juice. Yes, I had left my lights on. Enter a helpful courtesy staff who jumped me off and sent me on my way. WOW. Not my day you guys! I got home and went to bed.
Thursday I woke up – same deal. Pain in foot – down for the count. I DID hang with the fam, visit with the pups, catch up on work, etc., but I did not get to work out, cook or do anything I enjoy but read. Sigh. Thankfully, my co-worker’s dad is my podiatrist – so they got me in Monday. Wish me luck! I hope it’s nothing serious that will hinder my ability to ski!!!

Q: Do you ever have foot problems? Mine didn't start until 2008 - it's been there ever since, lingering, but it's definitely prominent now! :(
Q: Any fun plans this weekend? I plan to chill! I have a birthday party and holiday party - but mostly i'm just going to chill with Austin and hopefully whip up some recipes and rest my fit - no running but I hope to walk a lot!

Oh gosh girl! I hope the injury feels better quick. I've totally left my lights on at the airport before...whoops. Hope you have a very RELAXING weekend! We have Josh's work party today, tons of baking for my mom tomorrow & visiting my parents tomorrow night
My hubby has a foot issue and he began taking krill oil and his foot feels a lot better. Don't get me wrong, he has bad days but overall the condition improved. Good luck & feel better! I semi-understand how it can affect you.
Sorry about the bad flight and your foot pain :(
I plan to chill once I get home and also have to work Sunday night. Boo.
Sorry about the foot pain and the dead battery!
My daughter has had a similar foot problem for the past year. She said now that the cold weather has hit in Spain the pain in her foot has gotten worse. I wonder if cold does have something to do with it.
I had a non malignant tumor removed from one of my toes a few years ago and had to wear a boot and all that. Ugh...I feel your pain!!!
I'm sorry about your foot!! when I was younger I broke two different bones in my ankle- 2 years in a row in the same ankle! every now and then if I jump on it the wrong way or something random i get sharp pains : ( I hope you feel better soon and have fun relaxing!!
Dang homie! What a bunch of rubbish! I'm glad you are finally home and able to relax. Take care of that foot!
Oh ick! I hope relaxing a bit allows your foot to feel better! Sounds like you had a really stressful last day! Good thing someone was able to jump your car!
Sorry about your foot pain! Hope it'll heal quickly. I injured my right foot and ankle really badly when I was sixteen and had a complicated surgery. It's never been the same, and I have learned that I have to really "listen" to my foot and not overdo it. Glad you got an appointment on Monday. Be nice to your foot until then! I know you will! :-)
Enjoy your weekend!
I hope your injury feels better! Foot pain is awful! I broke my little toe in May and I was in horrible pain the entire summer. It hurt to walk and wear shoes. It was a terrible way to spend the summer. So I know how painful foot pain is. I wish you a speedy recovery! Chicago looks beautiful! I really want to go there!
I hope your foot feels better soon! Sending positive vibes for a good doctors report.
I've been to the podiatrist because I have incredibly flat feet. The only solutions have been surgery or inserts/wearing tennis shoes 24/7. No surgery for me, I'll keep my flat feet lol
OH NO. I hate that about your little hoofie. :( Not good.
I too know what a b*tch feet can be...remember my stress fracture - 4th metatarsal after the half marathon. SUCH a bummer. Fingers crossed that its nothing serious!
I got toe problems too since I was in high school. I ask the doctor and he said I had toe arthritis. Since then I experience pain every time winter comes.
