I don't know if I mentioned it. I've been sitting on my bum for a week due to a foot broken in 11 places.
I went in for a normal doctor checkup last Friday (diabetes checkup), and mentioned that my foot was sometimes swelling up a the end of a long day (I assumed it was just a complication from a bad ankle-foot sprain in December, and a side-effect of diabetes) The doctor looked at my foot and said, "No, I think it's broken", and sent me for xrays. So I walked over to another hospital and got xrays, then walked back to my doctor's and had her look over the xrays. She showed my a few breaks in the foot, and sent me to the ER to see the on-call podiatrist. I walked over to another building, and went to the ER, where they were frantically waiting for me (I didn't know they had a wheelchair waiting for me at the other clinic) End of story, my foot is broken in 11 places, and I am forbidden to even touch it down for 2 months. And I now know that (due to neuropathy caused by diabetes), my foot does not feel pain at quite the level it should. I knew my foot HURT, but it didn't feel like it was INJURED, if you can see the difference. I walked on it for almost 2 months, removed and installed 2 boilers, was the roadie for a heavy metal band one weekend, and started riding my exercise bike 3-6K per day during the time it was broken. I am also bored out of my mind.
