Yes, it is true. I was carrying too much stuff out of the car last night and I dropped something. I went to pick it up off the driveway and my laptop bag threw me off balance and I went flying. Somehow managed to sprain my foot in the process! OUCH. So I'm laying out on the driveway when Roob comes out the back door b/c he heard me yelling. I am sure I scared him half to death! We iced down my foot and I went to bed. This morning when I got up, I could not put ANY weight on it at all. It was terrible! I had to crawl around in the house and scoot myself down the stairs on my bum! So pathetic! Went to doctor to get it checked out. She couldn't xray my foot b/c I am pregnant, so she felt it and did what docs do, and she felt pretty confident that I just hyper extended all the tendons on top of my left foot. So she had me try on a plastic "sock boot" which enabled me to put some weight on my foot, so I could at least WALK on it somewhat--even if it were very slowly. I was just thrilled that I didn't need crutches! Can you imagine a big pregnant woman on crutches? Not funny! Anyways, the sock boot pretty much reminds me of a snowboarding or skiing boot. It's huge, but it is my new friend! Without it, I can barely walk at all! I guess the pain could remain for a few weeks, depending on my body. So right now I'm wearing a pressure wrap on it to help keep the swelling down...yet the top half of my foot and my toes look like sausages. Ugh.

Ouch! Maybe this is preparing you for all the time you will be spending on your rear end feeding your little one! I hope you get better soon.
