more complaining...kinda

So, now that my legs and joints have recovered from my 11 mile hike, I have a stabbing pain in the outside of my right foot.  It started Sunday morning and I've been a lazy wimp about it all week.  Meaning, that I've been complaining about the pain but doing nothing about it. 

Well this morning I finally twisted on it just right to almost send me to my knees.  I called the local foot doctor here in town and they felt that it wasn't such an emergency and scheduled me to come in on Tuesday...unless I couldn't stand it any more and then I should go to the ER.

right......

So after talking with my landlady, I decided to try a different foot doctor about 30 miles away.  They were very concerned and scheduled me in as early as could be tomorrow morning! 

I'm pretty sure I have a stress fracture.  It's pretty painful.  Hopefully it won't be as bad as I think and this is one occasion where I hope I am overreacting to the pain!  Wish me luck!

*By the way, this is not MY foot, it's some guy's x-ray...but where it's circled is where my pain is as well*
