I’ve been miserable. Why?

1) Despite going to the doctor last week to treat my sinus infection, I’m still not better. So I went to visit my allergist’s office yesterday after spending the morning in bed. The nurse practitioner gave me some stronger medication that I hope will kick in soon. I’m still completely congested (sinuses and chest), so that’s no fun. Plus, I sound disgusting.

2) Last week, while working out, I felt some pain in the back of my ankle. The pain was still there the next day while walking on my break. I decided I’d stop walking and just rest it for a few days. I told my mom about the pain, and she suggested that something could be wrong with my Achilles’ tendon. After doing some research, I agreed, feeling like it was probably tendonitis. The next day, still in pain while walking up the stairs to my office, I decided that it’d be better to have a doctor look at it before the tendon gets completely severed. So I went to the orthopedist’s office, had an x-ray, and was told that I was right to come in when I did. But it wasn’t my tendon. The doctor told me I have an ankle defect and a bone chip. I had an MRI today, and I have to wear a boot until I seem him in three weeks (from last Thursday). The boot is super uncomfortable. And remember that whole thing about being proud of myself for running? Well, there goes that. I can’t even walk in this thing. I’m pretty upset about all of it.

So that’s what I’ve been up to. I haven’t blogged. And that means I missed writing a post to wish my mother a happy Mother’s Day. And on Mother’s Day, instead of taking my mother out (although, I should point out that she didn’t want to go out), I sat around her house being miserable. And she had to deal with my misery and my tears. Sorry, Mom. I love you, and I still owe you a Mother’s Day’s dinner (or brunch or something).
