The guy that checks to make sure your x-rays are readable comes out and says, “So, what did you do to your foot?! Did you, like, fall or something?”
My response, “Uh, no.” [insert pause] “Why?”
His response, “Oh nothing, you know, I just, uh, wanted to get some info for the doctor, you know to give them some history. So if my hand were your foot can you describe where it hurts?”
[brief pause as I look at his hand]
Guy again “does it hurt like here around the toes… like the big toe?”
Me “not really… actually it hurts below them and on the side.”
Him “Oh… well the exit is that way.”

So now I wait for the doctor to call and let me know exactly what I did to myself. Personally, I think it’s pretty funny and my foot really doesn’t hurt that badly anymore. I chalk it up to finally getting some decent sleep and deciding to give myself a break, regardless of what work or school seems to think. Well that and the fact that I’ve stopped walking funny on it, my doctor pointed out when she did her exam that I’ve actually been favoring the side of my foot that hurts, so I have consciously been trying to walk normally and it has been feeling better. So maybe that was part of the problem. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.

Next time, I surely will not go running when my foot is already smarting. Lesson learned.
