Thanks to all for your great words of encouragement!!!! You are all so very sweet!!

I've stayed off the foot since Thursday night and I think it has really helped. I'm supposed to go in for a follow up on Monday, but my regular doctor can't see me until 3/18. Right, like I'm going to wait till then. They did schedule me in to see her assistant on this coming Wed. Not sure about the "Assistant" part. I'd really prefer to see a doctor. The urgent care doctor said I could go back there to get the follow up. So I may just do that. I would think they'd be open on Monday even though it is a holiday. I guess I'll find out in the morning.

The good news so far is that my foot seems so much better already. I'm wondering if it isn't just bruised badly or maybe just pulled ligaments rather than torn. Hopefully, they can tell me more on the follow up. So it may be healing much quicker than I'd thought. I've got my fingers and toes crossed for that. All your good wishes may just have done the trick :) :)

Luckily it has been too much effort to try to get around with the crutches, so I haven't been over eating. Can I count that as my aerobic exercise? I sure huffed and puffed and my good leg and bun are killing me :D Maybe by Tuesday or so I can start back with Denise Austin workouts - just staying in my chair at first. I can just bounce around a bunch and then do the isometric and weight exercises. I promise I won't push it as far as my foot is concerned. Again, I'll see what the doctor says.

Colleen - I really do wish you the best with your MRI. I know how upsetting it can be. You are inspiring me with your sitting down exercises. Good for you!! But be careful and don't overdo to compensate.

Don, regarding the windex, I am assuming you are referring to My Big Fat Greek Wedding (which was on TV yesterday & today - great movie!!). I forgot about the windex. I'll get it out now :D :D Also, I actually hit some aggregate concrete, too when I took the fall. (they have a "cute" design of both that and the slippery decorative tile) My chin, knee and hand got scraped up, but doesn't sound like as bad as your friend. Poor thing, tell her I hope she's O.K. and heals quickly.

Olivia, I thought the same thing about my teeth and tongue. I had just gone the day before to get my new permanent crown put in. But they all survived O.K.

Well, sorry to go on and on. As I've told many of you, I'm a big wimp and therefore don't have much experience in getting hurt. So it's a big deal for me!
