Hey guys, long time no talk! Things are going so much better on the life front! Thank you all for you sweet comments on Friday. They all put a smile on my face and got me off to a great start to a new week 🙂 But I am sure you are all still dying to know what the big stupid thing I did last weekend to myself was.
Wel,l it was Sunday evening and I was trying to work on a new recipe. Then things went bad in the household with the family and thus proceeded the yelling and anger. Well I can't handle this type of stuff very well, especially when I am trying to cook and I am tired and just want to eat, haha! So out of pure anger I acted like a two-year-old and standing on the kitchen floor, jumped up and slammed my feet in to the ground...really hard. I didn't feel it at first, but then when I tried to take a step my right leg totally gave out. I had never felt such pain in my heel before! I couldn't walk at all. What the hell was I going to do!? Well all of last week I had to limp and hobble in immense pain. *try walking walking from the depth of the school parking to the entrance and then to nine classes all on practically opposite sides of a 3 story school for 5 days*. It was pure hell. I was basically in tears any time I had to walk and I was late to all my classes. (Good thing no one cares). I ended up going to the doctor on Thursday (for a totally unrelated reason which was another thing that made last week the worst. I have an extreme fear of doctors and want to die anytime they are even mentioned to me). But Anyway, the doctor said that I probably just bruised the heel bone and it would hurt a lot, but should get better with time. It has gotten a little better and usually loosens up once I am up on it a bit. But when I wake-up and take that first step form bed...o man... I could fall on the floor in pain. So I am still taking it every day, but hopefully in a few more days everything will be cheery, otherwise I will have to get an X-ray. But I have been able to keep up with my normal workout routine which kind of pisses me off! I can do squats lunges (calve raises hurt a bit and moving from certain positions), but really they only thing that just hurts like hell is walking! Go figure.
But let us all try to keep things positive this week even though I have mid-terms starting tomorrow, I have today off for MLK Day, yay! So today's Power Monday is a bit special.

I hope you feel better soon! I couldn't help but laugh when I read what happened - I can imagine your mom probably was like "see what happens when you throw a tantrum?" If your mom isn't like that I apologize, but I know that's what my family would have done. We're all jerks 🙂

Haha she didn't! I didn't tell anyone the pain I was in until the next day. I texted my mom from school and was like...I can't walk...help!

It is really bothering me today actually. Ugh I thought a week would be enough time. But it is the bone so any swelling or blood can't move out and around (said the doctor). I hope this won't be a long term injury...
Thank you for the good luck!!!!
