Death of a Truck Driver
so it was my birthday this past weekend. it's pretty cool to be 21 now i suppose. so far it sucks a little because on saturday night(oct.15th) i stepped weird and felt some pain on the right side of my right foot. pain a lot like when i cracked my 5th metatarsel on my left foot. i hoped it wasn't anything. so yesterday i went to the doctor and got x-rays and it turns out i did indeed fracture my 5th metatarsel on my right foot. so strange..i have to get a bone desnity test next week to see if it's my bones or maybe even some kind of deformaty. i should probably start drinking more milk and/or taking calcium pills(even though i have a fair amount of milk anyways).
so what does this mean for the life of Todd? well once again it's difficult to get around. i'll probably be walking with a crutch or air cast or just slowly and oddly for the next few (6-8) weeks. this also means that i cancelled my road test and truck driving lessons so getting a new job will probably be pushed into the new year. it also means most likely there will be no snowboarding for me this year(i wasn't sure about this anyways, because of my last fracture, but i was warming up to the idea). and one final thing i'm not sure about yet is if i'll even be able to play drums, the old kick pedal is kind of important (all this wasn't as big a deal when it was my left foot)
so basically my life is going to be a little different for the next couple of months. i'm going to take really good care of my foot this time because i didn't last time and i think my left foot still hasn't quite healed.plus i dont want to hurt my left one again by over compensating for the right. i want this one to heal quicker and them both to be back to normal so i can run around again, and take my driving course, and play drums, and snowboard and be mobile all without worrying about hurting my feet more...man i never thought this would be something i'd have to deal with. i'm trying to keep my spirits up about it though, because there's no point in dwelling on everything that sucks.
