Day 4

(^Go! There's food inside!^)

(^The Best Way to Pass Time^)

7:20 a.m.

Good morning all. It's a wonderful, splendid day. This is the best I have felt so far. My pain is about a 2 on a 0 to 10 scale. This is a HUGE improvement since yesterday. The recovery seems to be almost to good to be true. I just have to keep reminding myself that both of my feet are technically broken.

I took a bath and had some cereal in the past hour. At some point today I will probably start my homework. I really just want to lay in bed and snooze, but I've already got it better than most simply by being home this fine Monday morning.

Sigh...today's going to drag on forever.

12:24 p.m.

I'm laying in bed (what else is new). I'm sick of being confined to the home, and I would like to go see everyone at 3 (before the 1st day of track practice), but that is probably too much of a pain for my mom. I'm not blaming her for anything; she is doing an amazing job of waiting on me hand and foot (haha).

I miss being able to walk around, but this is a nice experience. I'm still thinking ahead to next week (I may have to prop my feet up on a desk in every class, because right now, if I'm not movin, the feet are to be above my heart). Sigh...Even to sit outside. Just keep smiling.

8:33 p.m.

Well, I had fun today. I went to Owosso today from 1:45 to 4:30. Getting into Mcdonald's has never been such an ordeal. I must have spent 10 minutes just by going from the car, into the restuarant, and back. The 10 pc. nuggets that I had were almost worth the trouble, but it was definitely worth it when my entire left leg decided to take a nap on while I was eating. Those were some weird sensations.

On the way back, I saw most of the Cross Country team getting back from a run. Track really has started, and I'm not there (again). Sigh. This is more of a mental battle than a physical one. The pain has been from a 2 to a 5 today, so it is getting better. Right now, I'm experiencing weird, "blood flowing" pains in the area of my big toes.
