long days journey for the foot

with the crutches slippery cuz the rubber tips wore through i've been putting a whole lot more pressure on the foot the past two days and the foot is telling me to stop... it just wants to stay home and elevate tonight but it is gonna be tested more than any time since the injury as i am gonna walk down the isle at the theatre tonight and then keep it not elevated after that for a couple of hours or more... definitely bad timing... same thing this saturday but at least i will be able to rest all day and hopefully tonight i will get new crutch tips... then tuesday and wednesday next week the drive to tallahassee and walk from the parking lot to the meetings (usually a quarter mile or so) will be a challenge after the first walk i'll probably get ride back and forth to my car and i can get pizza or something delivered to the room if i find i can't find a place to eat that i can hop into... just dealing with the challenges... didn't think of getting extra rubber tips before these popped through... didn't realize how slippery the metal bottoms would be... never had to use crutches before, so all in all, it's a wonderful life, especially in terms of injuries...

perspective is everything... crutch tips are important too :)
