Sometimes it's the small things in life that make a difference. This morning I put on two shoes for the first time since March 21st! I know that my foot is way more interesting to me that it is to the rest of the world so I've been waiting for good news. This is good news.I saw the doctor yesterday. The x-rays weren't quite as good as she'd hoped, but things are moving along. I have what is called a Jones Fracture. As it turns out, they can be kind of tricky and often take longer to heal than some other kinds of breaks because they are in a part of the foot that doesn't have a strong blood supply.
She wants me to wear my running shoes with some special insoles for two more weeks. Then we'll talk about running again, starting off very slowly. I wish running shoes were a tad more stylish. I guess I shouldn't complain, at least I'm out of the boot.

I broke my toe about a month ago and am itching to get out of this orthopedic shoe! The doctor says at least another week, then sneakers. Oh, how I'm dying to wear flip-flops! I can definitely relate to you and I, too, long for the day when I can go running again.
By the way--I love your yarn!
Congratulations on the 2 shoe thing! I have been there may times due to surgeries on my feet, I count 6 times right now! It feels so great to walk evenly again. Take care and let it finish healing before you go crazy!
