Update

I know many of you have been on pins and needles just wondering how my foot is healing up. After wearing my lovely and fashionable ankle brace and boot for over 4 weeks now I had a follow-up doctors appointment this week to see how things were shaping up.

The good news...
It seems that my split tibial tendon is healing up quite nicely. It's not as painful as it was. Also for those inquiring minds that wanted to know... during this whole ordeal my doctor did inform me that I needed to stay off my foot as much as possible but he did give me clearance to at least do the bike. My bike riding has helped me accomplish another big milestone. After trying to read the third book in the twilight series for almost a year I have finally been able to finish it and now I am half way through the 4th one. However, don't be deceived folks! I huff and puff and sweat my eyes out on the bike when I am in that mode I just can't be reading but I have found that I can read during warm up and cool down.

*Just a side not about the Twilight series. I have to be honest...I am only reading the 4th book so I can have closure and be done with it. I am NOT one of the crazies out there. I know some of you know where I live and beg with you to please not come after me after saying that. WHEW! I just really needed to get that off my chest!

On to the bad news...
I have to wear my fashionable foot gear for another two weeks! I am trying hard to rotate all my shoes so I don't just wear out the right one...and that is just one of the problems I facing!
I have not been able to run for over a month and it is killing me! Everyone out there...Be grateful for your feet and tendons that work properly. Since the no running I have been forced into my only option...the bike. Can I just tell you all that my butt is sore ALL the time. Not from working so hard as I know most of you are thinking. It is from the dang seat. It is not comfortable and doing the bike everyday is a killer on the rump! Hopefully after these next few weeks I will be able start running again.
