Where your Physical Health Ends…
I know, all I’ve talked about since last Thursday morning was the amount of physical pain I am in. But, hello…broken bones…hello…walked on it all day long, then hobbled around all weekend without any sort of wrap or brace….only to see my doctor as late as possible it seemed on Monday. Yea, it’s broke he said. The good news, it wasn’t displaced…so just one of these wonky air casts.
Now, here’s where this starts to burn on your mental capacity. Yes, I know I was taking pain medicine and I should surely blame that for my silly mistake, but, alas, I think it was just me, not thinking. I am at full mental capacity in most areas and I try my best to haul everything around in my brain. So, when I broke my foot, that was just one more bit of information I had to work with.
I couldn’t remember the doctor that did my thumb surgeries name? Oh yea, my mom had his card. I called him, I went in, he called it broken, put this GRAY air cast on my foot and shoo’d me out the door. Now, that “Gray” part is important. Stick with me.
Next weekend I will be attending a blogging conference in Nashville with a bunch of ladies I have been dying to meet. And, all week long, as I’ve chatted in posts, in chats, in tweets, in text messages, I’ve reminded each and every one of them “I’ll be easy to spot, I’ll be the one with the big ugly black boot on my foot.”
Today, as I was tweeting that story of the big black boot, I looked down…ah ha, no one would have ever guessed it was me, the boot is gray not black at all? It was never black. I never had a black boot, it’s always been gray.
Yea, my mental capacity is running on empty.
Does this look black to you? Anywhere?
