I am a master limper. I'm telling you, as bad as I am at walking normally - that is how good I am at limping. We briefly held a hobbling race yesterday as I have figured out how best to walk without shooting pains. It kind of involves lifting up my entire left foot and moving it in front of my body but only letting the heel touch the ground. And not flexing any muscles in my foot. A difficult process at first, but I have become a master at it.
Tuesday was by far the worst walking day. I took the bus in the morning because there was no way I could walk to class. Walking down the stairs took 20 minutes and a lot of energy. So all day Tuesday was pretty slow going and painful. But Tuesday night I iced my foot for something like 6 hours while I finished my book (11 down... not enough left to fill the two months I still have here...) The swelling had gone down somewhat but the color went from bluish-grey to a purply sort of color.
Yesterday it went back to blue, but there was less swelling and a less noticeable limp. Today even more so. Which is a good sign, considering if it were broken it would only be getting worse... So maybe the folks down at Nyaho Clinic actually do know a thing or two. Not that I ever doubted them. :)
That's all for now.

I'm glad that your foot is starting to feel better ! I was worried when I first started reading that maybe they were wrong and it was broken.
Man - you and your feet - always something !!
