Thursday is the day - cast and crutches off!! Unfortunately I have my OB appt first and orthopedic appt 2nd that day. So they won't be able to weigh me in. I have no idea how much weight I've gained since my first OB appt at 8.5 weeks. At that point I hadn't gained anything yet.
I'm scheduled to head back to work on Labor Day provided the orthopedic Dr. gives me the go ahead. I just can't wait to be back on 2 feet again :)
I had the opportunity to watch the documentary Spirit of the Marathon the other day - I can't wait to get back out there and start running again after the baby is born!! I would love to be able to complete another marathon - but I'm definitely going to be a whole lot more cautious and listen to my body better this time around. I can't go through this torture again. The physiatrist that I work with told me that my heel will always be weaker due to the fracture and that I may want to consider other exercise options. I've read online posts on runners world from others who have had the same fracture and have managed to come back ok. I guess we'll see. I know that if I hurt myself again, my husband will not be any help. I've been warned.
I'm off to the lake for a few days to visit with my family. I can't wait. It's been quite a while since we've all been together! Too bad I won't be able to waterski or go tubing this year. At least I'll have fun watching everybody else :)
