Shin splints

I had such a good workout plan.  I started off so well but all good things must come to an end and mine ended with shin splints.  To make matters worse I had to go to an audition and dance on them.  The next morning my shins were swollen and I could barely walk on them.  I took two days off to rest my shins and let them heal.  They were feeling much better so I decided to exercise.  That turned out to a big mistake.  My shins swelled up again and every step felt like my bones were breaking.  Then it was my husbands birthday and then my 40th birthday.  Well, needless to say I didn't exercise and I ate like a pig.  It has now been 10 days since I stopped working out and my shins still hurt.  Tomorrow I will workout again shin splints or not.  I'm a little nervous about it because on Tues the roofers come and put a roof on our house and on Thurs someone is coming to scrap off out popcorn ceiling.  Plus, I'm openning "Cinderella".  I'm going to workout but I don't wanted to workout in front of strangers.  The popcorn ceiling people will take over my living room so come thursday I won't even be able to exercise until they leave on Friday.  So we'll have to wait and see how this week of exercise will go.  Even if I can't exercise I can eat well.  So at least I can do that.  Just keep rolling, just keep rolling (and that has nothing to do with the fact that I am fat).
