I'm kind of bummed today. My foot is hurting worse again today. I don't think walking on it for 20 minutes was such a great plan after all. And driving makes it hurt too. I am frustrated because I want to be better now and to even know for sure why I hurt and that it will actually improve at some point. Even though my doctor thought it was a stress fracture it didn't show up yet on the Xray. I just want to be able to go back to my exercise routine which I miss like crazy especially now that I am under so much stress. I want especially to be able to walk without pain. I don't know how long this is going to take to get better or if it is going to get better. It has improved from how it was originally. I don't know how long a stress fracture takes to heal (I forgot to ask my doctor but I have a return visit in a week). It has been at least two weeks since this first started hurting but I was exercising on it for a week of that time. I've only been off my feet for a week but it seems like forever.
I'll add some more to this journal entry later. I had to actually take a pain pill for my foot which I haven't taken in about five days now.

I went for a walk for the first time since I hurt my foot. It still hurts but not terribly so. I walked for 20 minutes. I'll see how my foot does afterwards. I haven't done my abdominal exercises yet. I may try the new Kathy Smith exercises for my abdomen at least the ones that don't involve moving my feet around.
My husband went to the neurologist today. He is going to do an evoked potential test which is one of the diagnostic tests for MS and an EEG next Tuesday morning. Then in three days more he goes back to the neurologist and discusses his new test results. He did not want to put down possible MS on his diagnostic records because he says then that diagnosis will follow my husband forever. He wants to be sure before he gives him that diagnosis. My husband was very down about having to wait at least another 10 days before he gets a diagnosis. I tried to cheer him up. I liked his neurologist - he was a great listener and he was very funny. I was encouraged that he was doing some more tests for MS.
I wasn't too down about the wait for more test results because I expected it.
I am still having a lot of trouble sleeping. I think because of Shadow. I was awake until 7am then I slept until 1:30pm.

Tomorrow my husband goes to his neurologist and I hope we will learn something new at least when he will have more tests if nothing else.
I woke up at 3:45am this morning and I missed my dog and I was unable to go back to sleep until 7:30 for a few hours. I am used to my dog being asleep on the floor at 3:45am but of course she was gone so I felt sad and had trouble falling asleep. We got a beautiful urn with her ashes in it today and her name and some paw print designs on it. We got a paw print and a clipping of her hair also. It helped with the grief to feel she is in someway still with us.
I did my abdominal exercises yesterday but I don't think I am going to get them done tonight. It is 8:51 and I still need to eat a large salad to get all my veggies in. I was wanting to eat popcorn today and I ate two pieces of it. It could have been a lot worse...I dreamt this morning that I was bingeing on cookie after cookie and I don't even like cookies that much. I guess I was just aware I am vulnerable to bingeing right now.
My foot is still hurting today so I didn't try to walk yet. I dropped a photo album right on the injured part of my foot yesterday. It didn't help my foot to get better that's for sure.

Shadow passed very peacefully. The vet gave her a tranquilizer which made her completely sleepy and relaxed. She wasn't breathing hard anymore and we were able to talk to her and love on her. When the vet gave her the final shot she just took a couple of breaths and she was gone. I was very grateful it was so peaceful. I know she is in doggy heaven. I hope I will see her again when I die. I was very sad when I came home and she wasn't here to greet me at the door and when I went to bed and she wasn't here to come to bed with me. We will at some point get a new puppy not right away though. I know no animal will ever be able to take her place in my heart.
I have been doing my stomach exercises. My foot seems to be getting better every day. I want to be able to start walking on it but my sister-in-law told me about a woman she knew who got a stress fracture on her foot and started exercising on it too soon and ended up in a cast and she was a thin woman so I need to be careful. I got some new DVDs at the used bookstore yesterday - a Biggest Loser and two Kathy Smith DVDs - one of the Kathy Smith DVDs is on abs so I should be able to do it right away. The other two DVDs will have to wait until I am better before I can do them. They have closed my pool at the apts. so I can't go swimming here anymore so I will have to get a prescription from my MD for a water aerobics class.
Thanks all of you for your kindness and prayers. It helps and comforts me more than I can say.
