Day 2.....

I think I will surely not make it for the next week.  I went to the doctor this morning with Kelsey.  Thank goodness she was around or I would have never made it.  The second I stepped out of my apartment should have told me I wasn't going to have a good day... The ahjumma that I NEVER EVER see cleaning had mopped right outside my apartment and down the first floor... which meant the plastic stoppers on my crutches were officially no help to me... I was slipping and unable to really walk without having a heart-attack.  We finally made it in the elevator and outside to go down my alleyway to the main street to catch a taxi... seemed like that took forever!  Finally we made it to the hospital in Hyehwa where my appointment was.  We pulled up to the curve and I got a wheelchair immediately with the help of Kelsey and the wheelchair man.  LOL and then another person was assigned to take me to where we needed to be.  I needed to get some Xrays done... so first I paid about 10,000 won for those (less than $10...wow!) and then waited to see the doctor.

The Doctor told me I had to keep my leg elevated for the next week or so.  Which means I can't work.  I really (SERIOUSLY) don't like this idea but I have to do what he says... After seeing him, I was taken to another room where they removed my cast from Sunday and that person put Iodine on my foot and then apparently put a needle in my foot to remove some of the inflammation... yeah that was painful... more Iodine was put on and then he proceeded to re-wrap my foot.  The translator in the room said the doctor told me to come back next friday for another cast and to keep it constantly elevated.  I can apparently use my heal to walk next week but who knows.

I have been laying in my bed for the last several hours and will probably get bed sores cause i'm starting to hurt!  I hate this.  I've been sleeping and just laying here with my cat for most of the day.  I dont think I'll make it for the next 3 1/2 weeks...

And Just a bit ago I received a wheelchair the school borrowed from someone so this should help me move around a bit... I seriously can't use these crutches for long walks...

I wish I could just walk... BLAH!  The new students and semester start tomorrow at school and I really wish I could be there to take on my classes head on but I guess we'll see how things go.

I'm going to attempt to stay positive... Like Jei said... I can work on a lot of things while I'm away... Korean, reading, and a few others.
