Bone Scan Update!

I just got back from my follow-up appointment. The bone scan lit up meaning there is a stress fracture of my left fibula. He pushed on my lower leg-no pain. Since I'm having no pain, I can do whatever doesn't hurt at this point. If something hurts, I need to stop. In 3 weeks, I can go full throttle, or as I like to say...

GO BALLS TO THE WALL!
(just because I'm cool like that...ha ha.)

I can start running in 3 weeks. He said to do 5 minutes of walking followed by 5 minutes of running until I get to 30 minutes. No hills until I can run without stopping for 30 minutes.

Also, I need to wear shoes during Doomba. He said that once I'm fully healed he would recommend without shoes but with a stress fracture I should be wearing shoes.

He said to make sure I'm getting enough calcium, eating enough calories (never thought I'd hear that-hee hee), wear appropriate shoes, blah, blah, blah :)

So....awesome news. I came back to work and told everybody "well, looks like I won't have to have my leg amputated after all"! Can you say...
