Casted

Well, my leg was.

I finally got a cast on my leg, which I thought they should have done originally, but I guess they needed a orthopedic specialist to make the final judgement rather than the general doctor? The specialist actually said that I was borderline - that I might need surgery since the fracture's so big that there's actually some displacement. He also said that had I gone in immediately after I fell instead of waiting a week, they would have suggested surgery. So while it's probably going to take longer, there's hope that I don't have to get surgery done, which would be AWESOME. 

Anyway, I go back to the hospital in two weeks and they'll take another x-ray then and tell me how it looks. So hopefully I'll just heal and there won't be any complications. I can't really afford (money and time-wise) to be sitting in a hospital having surgery. That's totally going to blow my plan of when I'm leaving Korea.

Forced Diets

And I mean this in the best way possible. I sprained fractured a bone in my leg down near my ankle at the beginning of February. I was walking home with groceries and it was dark and I slipped on some ice that was *literally* outside my apartment. Like, ice on the carport connected to my apartment. I think the extra weight in my backpack and the bags in my hand contributed to the off-balancedness and thus, a cracked bone. So now I'm in a leg splint for who knows how long (wasn't paying attention when I went to the doctor the first time) and I can't go anywhere other than where I have to be (work, immigration office, hospital, etc.)

Thus, the forced diets. Yes, diets. I've been on a forced (but much needed) food diet - I haven't had any soda or pastry/bread for the last two weeks, and I've generally been eating less and snacking on less junk food. I'm also on a spending diet, since I can't go out shopping. And thus, I've been on a makeup and Lush diet. This is all perfectly fine with me, since I don't need anymore things, I need to use up what I have since I'm moving back home in the summer and need to start consolidating what I have, and I need to save money.

This has led me to start thinking about a Project 10 pan type thing, to help motivate me. And I figure, why not now, since the temptation to buy/spend is so low, since I'd rather be home than hobbling around on crutches.

Anyway, will continue with the actual products I will be finishing up later, since I'm off to my doctor's visit now. This time I'll pay attention to how long I'll be wearing the lovely leg splint.
