My fifth metatarsal...

No, not the Fifth Element, but instead, my fifth metatarsal. I was doing plyometric jumping because I am a fitness trainer andI jumped and then pulled my feet up about five feet in the air. When I came down I landed on the right side of my right foot. I probably produced a force of 1,000lbs. When I landed, I felt my foot crack.

I am in a splint and right now. Tomorrow I need to see a specialist and maybe might even need surgery. I will have to keep my cast on for 8 weeks! That's two months of no walking, very little activity, etc. I am a very active person. I have a job where I train other people. I am not sure what I'm going to do.

My foot is in some serious pain. When I woke up today and the pain medicine wore off, I could actually feel where my foot broke. It's not a nice feeling. I don't even have an XBOX to keep me from thinking about my foot.
