for $200, what is, clumsy?
i'm sorry, the correct answer was, who is, penny black?
two weeks ago, as of today, i fell outside my apartment. i didn't stumble, or almost fall, i fell. all the way to the ground. uneven pavement and i do not get along. (was it three years ago when i fell outside of my alhambra apartment and had to wear a walking boot for six weeks?)
so i fell, got up, dusted off my hands, and drove to the conference i was scheduled to attend. my ankle twinged with pain, but it wasn't unbearable and i knew it would go away. the next day my ankle felt fine but my foot was hurting. it was a little swollen and hurt when i walked, but i could handle it.
unfortunately, my hotel room was about as far away from the hotel conference center as it could possibly be. by the time i got to where i needed to be, i could barely walk, my foot hurt so badly. the more i walked, the worse it hurt. right before lunch, i decided to go to a local urgent care clinic (the conference food was not great, i knew i wouldn't be missing anything). the clinic doctor thought my foot might be broken, but when the x-rays came back, she said it wasn't (good news!) but my foot still hurt (sad news.)
i went back to the conference, limped around for a few days, and then my foot started feeling better (good news!). last thursday, however, my foot started hurting again (sad news). i asked my neurologist brother-in-law to take a look at my x-rays, just in case the clinic had missed something.
and that's where we are today. hurt foot (sad news). going to lunch with my sister (good news!).
