Last Thurs. I had a toenail removed (ouch) and now I'm not going to be able to climb for about 2 weeks. For the full account see thread: The saga of my mutant toe:
http://www.rockclimbing.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=51202
Not only that, but it is not comfortable to walk, wear shoes, etc. I am not one to sit on the couch for too long. I am not a very happy climber right now!!! What does a climber do other than read and hang from the finger board. I think I may lose my mind!!!

Climb with only one foot. If you are desperate enough it will calm your nerves.

It's cold here, too. But normally I have the option of going to the gym.
The problem is that I can't replace it with another active activity because it hurts to walk. So what is an active person to do when forced to sit on her butt???

This is actually a good idea. That's what I did when I fractured my foot - I climbed one-legged. It looked really funny, but it built up my arm strength heaps. I didn't do any leading, just top-roping and just inside the gym.

Tape up and climb anyway. It's doable. :)
