Today I went in to see a foot specialist about a pain in my foot.  About seven weeks ago I sustained a foot injury while playing Football (Soccer for most of you).  Eva took me to the ER and they took some x-rays but the doctor did not detect anything and they sent me home to rest saying I had a minor ligament injury.  

Well, seven week and three doctors visits later I went to a foot specialist and he found that I actually did fracture one of the bones in my foot.  So I’ve been hobbling around on a broken foot for almost two months.  

I am at least relieved to know why my foot is still in pain.  The doc says it might take a few more months until the pain goes away entirely.  In the meantime I am becoming quite agile with crutches.

This in causing quite a few complications.  This weekend we are going up to Madrid for a weekend retreat.  I can’t drive with the injury so Eva will have do all the driving.  Also in November I am going to Austria for a leadership retreat.  I will have to change plans three times so I’m a bit worried about that.

P.S. tomorrow (Tuesday) morning we have the first Arabic class at the new center!
