Oh joy the benifits of the allmighty healthcare system comes to play its part in my life once again. I had previously mentioned an injury that had forced me to withdraw from the dojo and it's decided to rear its ugly head once again.
In febuary I had stepped on a piece of glass that went directly into my foot then promptly shattered. I went directly to emergency care as soon as it was clear that I was unable to get it all out. The nice people at the urgent care center gave me some pain killers and had me sitting there for roughly a half hour while they went to town cutting open my foot on a savenger hunt. the funny part is that they LOST a chunk of the glass. The thought it fell on the floor and they THOUGHT they had gotten it all out.
Several months later (as you can tell now) I've been suffering with chronic foot pain that comes after several hours of walking etc etc. It felt something akin to that of a sharp needle being stabbed into my foot. After a visit to my local friendly foot doctor, he told me that I still had glass in my foot! More painkillers and more digging. He doesnt know if there is anymore in there so if in a week or so there is still pain I have to get an X-Ray.... then more digging and more painkillers!
All in all this hurts my ability to train. I've had to cut my form training from my menu and possibly seiza. I'm down to basic body training for the moment. *sighs* Damn you health care!
