Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans....

So. I'm back. Not exactly the way I wanted, but I'm back.

Three weeks ago - the Friday of my fourth week of Beast - after suffering severe leg pain, I was ordered to report to Keller Army Community Hospital Orthopedics, where they x-rayed my feet and legs, and informed me that I had tibial stress fractures in each leg and another fracture in my left foot. I was then told that I would not be able to complete Beast and would be sent home. Here I am. At this point in time, I am still technically a cadet, and am on a payed Medical Leave of Absence for the year. I am looking at various options to keep myself busy and will likely take classes at the U of A. I'm still on crutches at the moment, and will be for a while, so first semester seems unlikely, though if I want to take advantage of my scholarship, I may have no choice. Anyway, I'm glad to see that everyone's doing okay and getting off to college successfully.

Thanks to those who wrote while I was away, it meant a lot.
