Hey gang.

I’m laid out on the couch and really don’t have the desire to write anything new, so I’m going to copy and paste from my h&F board, about what happened with the podiatrist on Friday.

Went back to the doctor today, and got steroid injections in the bottoms of both feet.

It was really bad, I don’t know if it was just a bad reaction, or what, but it burned like fire as it spread. The injection site is swollen and hurts at the touch. I can hardly walk at all because it burns and aches so badly.

During the injection, she told me to expect pain at an 8-10 on the pain scale, and she was right.

Anyway, the steroids should reduce inflammation and speed healing, but the PF was not being terribly responsive to just stretching and icing, so these shots were step two.

In 2 weeks I’ll go back and we’ll either see progress, or move onto physical therapy.

So, running hasn’t crested the horizon yet. may still be months…

So, on Friday, I couldn’t put weight on my foot, almost at all. Literally, daron carried me upstairs (so cute) and I crawled to the bathroom if I needed to go.

Not. Awesome.
