Musing on serious foot injuries.
The last time I ran for any length of time was almost two months ago at the Disney Half Marathon.
Because I ran with my messed up right knee, I messed up the second toe on my right foot.
Do you know how incapacitating a pulled tendon of the second toe is?
Of course not.
No one in their right mind would end up with such a stupid debilitating injury
Except me.
Now it hurts to walk and I am having to walk for exercise because of my bad knee.
The bad knee that messed up my bad toe.
The bad toe that’s painted light blue.
Sometimes it’s the little things that exhaust me.
And I refuse to take a picture of my ugly, light blue toe.
Because I’m very mad it at right now.
So there.
So sorry, Jamie. Last year I tore a calf muscle which resulted in a swollen knee problem a month after I thought I was “healed.” One set of muscles/tendons tries to compensate for the injured group. Hang in there.

It started with a right giute and in two years has made it to my toe. Glad you are doing better.
