Sonofa BITCH!!
Yeah, I wanted be to morw active and mget in shape, so I got myslef a nifty lil road bike on Friday. Saturday, My Hubby pumed air in my tires and I was uber egar to ride around the block. So I did.
I fell.
I didn't much fall as I more flopped to one side. You see I tried to stop the bike, and I thought I did, but yeah, not so much. I didn't think I hur myself too much, so I went on about my morning. Thirty minutes later, my right foot was still throbbing and the pain was increasing. So I took off my shoe to find my foot covered in blood. I know, eww! My foot was so swollen that I had to go out and buy my first pair of flip flops of the season. And even then my foot was still too swollen for the them.
Today, I go to the Dr. because my foot is still a fat bitch and the pain likes to increase when ever I put weight on it... and I need I remind you that I weighed 258 last week? The Dr. took x-rays and it turns out that I fractured my metatarsals, one of the big bones in the foot. Who knew?
So I fought against a cast because if I get one, it wont come off for 6 weeks. Yeah, the AIDS ride is 4 weeks away, so I got a foot splint instead. So now I have to keep off my foot, perform no heavy lifting and keep it raised as often as possible.
The upside, if their is one, I weighed in at 255! I lost three pounds last week!!! Woohoo!!

Ouch! Just hearing that makes me cringe. Don't overdue it. Only you know your limits, and you don't want to cause permanent damage for the sake of the Aids ride, when you can ride it every year.
