I used to like to hula hoop upside down with the hoop on my feet...tried that again yesterday...Nope. Instead of feeling like a normal foot should, it feels as if I am wearing three inches of not-my-own-skin over a bone...it's just bizarre. And when anything even just barely clangs against where the screws are (like what happens every 10 seconds during a normal hula hooping session)...it feels like the bone is being broken all over again. I really wanted it to go back to normal, but now the scar is getting even darker and there actually looks as if there is a visible deformity building under the skin. I had a doctor tell me once that maybe hula hooping just isn't the thing for me (because I accidentally ripped my cornea via hula hoop a few months before this...) and I stormed out of the office. I was so mad that anyone could ever say that, because I love hoop dancing so much. But I really hope that she wasn't right. :damnit:
