Gulp...

I swallowed my pride and at Wayne's suggestion rearmpitted myself with a crutch.  OK, walking feels better with a crutch, but what a step backward in the recovery process that is.  I can walk short distances without pain and seemingly without damaging myself if I walk very carefully, carrying my foot as a club.  Because of the crutch and careful walking the foot hurt less today than any day in the past week.  But that's because I am nursing the injury, not because it's better.  Dr. Jake has suggested an x-ray and it looks like I'll get one tomorrow.  Not looking forward to what it may reveal.

Fingers crossed.
