damn that’s hot!
Just my foot in my new splint and foam shoe! Woo hoo - loving the look! I think the nurse gave me a left boot for my right foot, too, so it really is quite a stunning look I am sporting here. And, man, oh man, is the plastic of the splint and the foam of the shoe hot. I feel like my foot is resting on a heating pad, but not in a good way…
So, yep, finally went to the doc. Went to Urgent Care this morning to see what they thought. The injury wasn’t getting better any more and was getting worse with activity. Didn’t do an x-ray as it seems like it’s just a sprained ligament not any kind of fracture. With the preggo belly we decided to opt for this treatment first and do x-ray later if it doens’t get better. The boot will help stabilize and I am taking the 3-day weekend to rest it as much as possible.
Today I feel good about the course of action. Last night, however, I was so bummed about the whole thing. The inactivity that this means, the loss of my last few weeks with just my son, the sitting around, the increase in responsibilities for my husband. You name it, I was bummed out by it. My eating has reflected that for sure. I am on the last few weeks of pregnancy and am having the following mindset: whatever. Not such a great way to go about eating. I continue to eat lots of healthful foods, but the extra food/crap is there as well. The inactivity just adds to the eating as well. Today, while I feel happier and more okay with all that’s happening I will eat a little better, but I just keep having this “whatever” it’s just a few more weeks and then I can get to the good eating again…Such a useless mentality but so where I am right now. I hate the living for the later, but I am so good at it…
Off to make some honeydew melon and cucumber soup. It’s super yummy, refreshing, and good for ya!

awww debbie. ….glad you got it checked out tho!
Debbie I can totally relate with what you feel. When I got put on strict bed rest my last four months of pregnancy. I thought I was gonna go nuts. It is hard to just chill out. Sure the first few days are fun, then you wanna pull your hair out. When my exercise stopped, my snacking seemed to increase. It has made getting into a good exercise habit hard now since I was down so long. I am sure you are stronger than I am. =)Sorry to hear about the foot. I hope the discomfort starts to heal.
Ok that is wierd I just posted you a note and it did not take it.
I basically said it is hard to just have to be down. I hated my last four months of bed rest. I have found it hard to get back into a good exercise plan.
I hope your foot heals soon! What a pain.
It is only a few more weeks.
You are doing great Debbie.
I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t have the ‘whatever’ attitude right about now.
Even though you are eating a few extras here and there you are still eating lots of healthy foods and thats awesome for you and baby.
So just keep it up
Glad you got your foot checked out and now you’ll give it the time it needs to heal properly.
Knowing you, you will still find things to do with your son.
He’s lucky to have a mom thats so involved with him.
You take care
Lori
May I have some cucumber soup please? I have never made this and there is almost always a cuce in the fridge…hmmm….
Hey, chin up. You have so much going on so just be at ease with yourself a little. Enjoy those healthy foods and a little extra protein and you will be on your way to good health. I LOVE your cooking!
Take care and I am sending out an extra big hug… *HUG* Yikes I do not want you to pop quite at this moment.
Tea cheers….
Hey Debbie!!!!!!!!! I’ve missed you, and somehow seem to miss your blogs
But I caught this one.
I sure hope your leg gets better soon. Maybe its good that you will be less active for the babys sake. I know my daughter is 4 weeks from delivery. She is so miserable
I realize how much you want to be active and I’m so so sorry for that. I’m keeping you in my prayers. Hugs, Jane
I am glad to see you got your foot checked out. Its better to know whats going than continuing to be in pain with no corrective action taking place.
I know you are bummed about having to sit on the sidelines..maybe this is just a sign you were pushing to hard and needed to slow down. 
Take your time to heal and rest.
I am glad you went to the doctor. hopefully you will begin healing soon
