Foot, Again and Still Problematic

I was so anxious about my visit to my foot specialist.  He and I are seeing each other w-a-y too often. I came away in much better spirits.

It's likely a stress fracture.  There's a way to know for sure but it involves dye injection and x-rays and hospitals.  And since I'm not the school's star athlete needing to play in the big games we'll opt out of that route.  The treatment is the same anyway.

So, I'll be taking a few anti-inflammatory drugs and wearing this darling shoe.  (Google tells me this runs about $20 retail, we'll see how much the dr.'s office charges.)

That also means no more morning walks for some time.  :^(

But, I'll give the elliptical a try and we'll see if I can tolerate that.

Our little corner of the world is covered in snow.  Which makes an open-toe shoe a tad chilly.  But I'm not complaining.  It's w-a-y better than the boot, although he said I could use my boot if the shoe doesn't help enough.  It's a sad state of affairs when my closet has almost more foot appliances than cute shoes!  And...I have lots and lots of warm socks!

I'm so grateful for insurance that enables me to feel comfortable about seeing a doctor when I need. And for doctors that I can feel confidence in.  I'm also grateful for changing seasons (I wouldn't do well in year-round summer), I love the beauty of each one.  And I'm grateful for prayer.
