Oh no! (Personal ranting)

I was at a high today. After 5 weeks of hanging around at home, I was uber confident I can start walking until I went to hospital for my check up this afternoon. Found out that I still need to be in my cast for the next 2 weeks and then in a plastic case (just so that I can remove when I am resting or showering) but I will not be able to walk for the next few months more. (sob sob sob! I miss shopping!! I miss my routines!! I need a hair cut!!)

Doc said my recovery looks on track and I shouldn't take the risk of re-injuring my foot (cause I asked him with forlorn eyes if there was any way I can start walking again like, right now!) A full recovery will take 4 months!!! GOSH! I guess that is how bad my fracture is. =(( I wonder if you can imagine how deep my heart sank after I came out from the doc's room. (Maybe Em can - bumped into her.)

I am beginning to have a different perspective about taking care of myself. Especially since I am a stay-home-mom, my children depend on me while my husband works hard to bring back the dough. I really cannot afford to have any major ailments or the likes else the family suffers with me. I feel I also take my well-being for granted - was never disciplined to take vitamins to supplement my health but I shall embark on that journey as soon as I am back on my feet! I don't want to take any chances when I know what I can do now will make a difference in my life as I get older. (I wanna stay young!!)

Thanks for listening me out. =)
