Well, after taking it easy for the past two weeks and wearing the wrap and pad the doctor prescibed, I walked out of his office today with bad news and good news. Bad news: I walked out in a "walking boot" cast. Good news: I get to totally focus on fundraising for the next three weeks. This is all dependent, of course, upon the results of the ultrasound I get to have on my foot this week.
The doctor assures me I'll still have time to train for the walk when the boot comes off, but for now he wants me to stay off it as much as possible and "walk slowly." We'll see how the walk slowly part goes. (More later on this topic - maybe even a rant!) I did discover that I am willing to be the MOST compliant patient he has ever had. I know I'll be super upset if I'm still in a boot for the 3 Day. I think the boot will be really hot, smelly, and dirty by then. I'm also sure it will be well decorated in pink, also.
So, for now, I must focus on fundraising. I'm looking at this 3 week window as an opportunity to meet my goal of $2300. That way, when I get out of this boot, I can totally focus on training. If you'd like to help me with my goal, please go to http://www.the3day.org/site/TR/2010/MichiganEvent2010?px=3225637&pg=personal&fr_id=1467 and click on "click to donate to Susan in 2010."
Thanks for your support and good thoughts!
