I took the wrap completely off my foot today, for the first time since Wednesday.

The swelling isn't so bad as it feels, lumps on both the top and bottom outside of the foot. And darker black on the outside, and lighter on the inside, from the bruising. Mostly, it looks pretty bad, but not nearly so bad as it could look.

Next big step will be seeing what the doctors say on Tuesday, after I go to the specialist and they review my x-rays. Don't know if they'll x-ray it again -- after all, it will have been about a week at that point, and the healing will have begun.

Now I just have to figure out how to accomplish Tuesday morning. Being here at TBR has been wonderful. Everyone has been SO helpful and I'm thankful for it all. No kids to jump on my foot. No driving until Monday. but then I have to somehow pack the car and drive home by myself with the kids. And Tuesday get up and get out the door with the kids, walk Boo into the daycare and drop Peanut off at camp for her first day, which requires me to walk in. It is going to be IMPOSSIBLE. The mere thought is daunting.

So I just try not to think. Because on Tuesday morning, I will have to cry. And I hate that.
