Trapped Nerve! :(

In August I fell... :( This is a month after my first surgery... My official diagnosis is "severe denervation to the extensor digitorum brevis indicating an injury to the most terminal motor branch of the deep peroneal nerve" - which basically means a trapped nerve! 

I went in for another surgery on Monday 6th December.  And, below is the result with one big massive cast! :(

Being Positive and Being Realistic...

There is a fine line between being positive and being realistic.  That fine line is called many things... two words which I've been recently using to describe this fine line are "stupidity" and "blindness" ...

Hmmm...

I have seen the light. With 76 days to go, and a sore ankle from an injury over 8 months ago (yes, a long time ago), I simply cannot risk further injury or those sleepness nights with the pain anymore!

I am now being realistic. And there is nothing wrong with that!

I'm still positive though. I think I should also change the title of this blog as well now to something else... meanwhile, it's still my dream, so maybe I'll keep it up for a little longer.

More Walking!

Umm... Car less and Id less...  My wallet, cell phone and camera case were stolen this weekend...  So, I walked  1.6 miles to the DMV and back... and then to the Bank!

I getting there...

Oh, and Happy Birthday Radhika! :)

No Car! Just Legs!

Had a little car hiccup on Thursday. With Valentines Day approaching, and love in the air, I think my car had fallen in love with another car, and got just too close!

I decided to take the opportunity and not be a lazy bum... and I walked 3.8 miles home from work today. And that too on a Friday evening.

Whoohoo! Here I come!  I CAN DO IT!
