My foot

First of all I want to thank my friends who left comments on my post yesterday. I'm glad to hear from you guys and it's always nice to get comments so I don't feel like I'm talking to myself!
Anyway.....my foot....My foot's been hurting me now about 2 months. I may have mentioned this when I went back to work, I don't remember. At first I just thought, well, my feet hurt because I haven't worked in 10 months and I gained alot of weight. I thought it would get better over time. So I put it off. Now both my temp. job that I had and my new job at the vet's require me to stand all day. This new job, I stand for 10 hours.
So today, I decided to go to the foot doctor. This is how I ended up.


Not great photography, I know. So I have plantar fasciitis, which is pretty inflamed right now. So from what I read on the internet and feared happened today.
X-rays, of course, a STEROID INJECTION IN MY HEEL, which actually didn't hurt like I thought it would, but the doctor said "it was a real painful injection".
Thanks alot for the scare Doc. And this wonderful splint. I'm suppose to wear when I sleep, I don't know how that's gonna work out. I might be sleeping alone!
They said I could wear it while watching T.V. if all night was too much. So as most of my day is over, I'm resting, icing my foot, and reading.
Here's Achilles watching me on the couch.


I figured I'd better rest today while I'm off, because, (no restrictions from work) I have to stand tomorrow for 10 hours. EEEkk! I sure hope this injection helps!
I didn't do anything else today, not even check on my shops, which I think I'll head over to now. So, goodnight everyone!

Cindy, I had the same problem with my foot years ago. I was so lucky because the dr. I went to didn't believe in the injection (whew). Instead he wrapped my foot very tight with wide tape for 2 weeks. the point being that he was taping the arch up and giving it support so it could heal. He also gave me some exercises to strengthen the foot. He told me that he learned this procedure from a very old doctor friend and it worked. I'd suffered for years with this pain and it was so bad that I could barely stand and walk. I have never had trouble again since this procedure. Ask your doc about it and see what he says. Maybe You Tube has some video demo-ing the exercises. I could not believe it but the minute he taped my foot, the pain went away....good luck with your foot, I know it really hurts. Sally

I tried some new snacks in this months box, so get ready for some chocolate! ~dutch cocoa sun-crunch These are cocoa flavored sunflower and sesame seed clusters. Medium strength taste wise on the chocolate, but I love the saltiness of the sun-crunch itself. 6 grams of protein per serving; that's pretty good too! ~dark cocoa almonds~ If you like dark chocolate, you'll love these! 4 grams of protein on these per serving. ~dark chocolate berry trail mix Out of the other trail mixes that I've tried from Naturebox , this one is my favorite. It's a good mix of dried fruits and nuts, including cranberries and cherries, cashews and pistachios, plus tiny chips of dark chocolate that gives it that flavor punch. 4 grams of protein ~flax fortune coins~ Taste just like flattened fortune cookies with the added benefit of flax seeds. Flax seeds are full of omega-3's, and are said to be good for helping reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes...

Post July 4th workout and update

Image
I took off a week from running since my legs were hurting everyday, all day. So it was a bit challenging to start back up this week. I'm so greatful for the cooler mornings that we've been having. Today: 1.77 miles Weight: let's not talk about it; I'm on a see-saw right now. Eating fairly well. Staying away from sweets. Bought a new swimsuit yesterday, so can start swimming when it is too hot to run or walk. Not your traditional swimwear; I wanted something to exercise and do laps in. It's more for cross-training. More to come..... To read my previous post. go here .
