Today I managed to break a bone in my foot. In fact I have an epiphyseal detachment of the fifth metatarsal and ruptured peroneus ligaments if you must know. I was running along with my dog, and tripped on a pothole. This is very, very annoying. I am not allowed to put weight on it for two weeks, and will be on crutches for up to six weeks. I have practical exams in two weeks and two days. Bugger. I also can’t drive for six weeks which means no choir, and being stuck in my house/on campus for the forseeable future. Now, I shouldn’t complain, because people have a lot worse things happen to them. But it is more annoying than anything.
Was interesting to see how the dog reacted though, at first he wanted attention, I think so that it would show him that everything was alright. When he didn’t get it he started running around me in circles and barking. They say that dogs call for help when their owners are in trouble, now I don’t know if that’s what he was doing, but I like to think that he was my little hero, trying to come to my aid.
The fact that he now won’t come near me because he’s scared of the crutches is neither here nor there!!
