"I can make it on my own..."

I had my first play meeting last night, which went pretty well. I was surprised to discover that there's actually going to be around 6 or 7 performances of the show (if I'm not mistaken) as opposed to the 4 I originally thought. This makes it even more exciting, as I don't have an understudy, so I'm going to be performing all of those nights. At the same time, I'm a bit worried about that week overlapping with dance and choir stuff, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there I guess.

On the way out of the meeting, in my foolish excitement I ran down the stairs 3 to 4 steps at a time and ended up landing on the side of my foot on the last step, bending it at least a full 90 degrees, maybe more. It was okay for a while, but when I woke up this morning I couldn't walk on it at all. Pain killers and icy hot helped me get from my car to my Spanish final (which went ok) at 7 am this morning, but I felt a lot like Lil' Brudder as I limped across the lot, dragging my crippled leg behind me.

So it's not broken, just very, very sprained, as I discovered when I went to the doctors immediately after my final. They've got me on crutches though, which is kind of embarrassing (they originally wanted me in a wheelchair, but I was having none of that nonsense.) The nurses all commented on how fast I was moving on the crutches on the way out - I'm probably headed for another injury at this rate. I'm supposed to stay off it for a week, so I guess it's good timing that school is out and I won't have to face the stairs of CSUSM, but it's also bad timing because I just ordered my Cobalt Flux dance pad and I'm not going to be able to use it for a while once it comes in. Also, I'm not sure if I'll be able to work this weekend; marquee for tonight is definitely out. I might just be headed for a weekend of nothing but video games... wouldn't that just be terrible.
