getting shots in your feet SUCKS

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.

Dinner at the Mexican restaurant reminded me of a product I tried a few months ago. Because as I was eating my chicken flauta, I noticed that this restaurant’s tortillas left MUCH to be desired.

I was sent samples of tortillas from Stacey’s Organic Tortillas… I got 2 sizes of both her Whole Wheat Flour and Unbleached White Flour tortillas. WOW. Stacey’s tortillas are soft and flavorful. They are aromatic and clearly made with love.

I love tortillas, especially whole wheat ones, but do any of you know what I mean when I say that whole wheat wraps sometimes taste chemically? Like there is something in them that makes them require some kind of topping?

Stacey’s were, legit, the best I’ve ever had. I honestly wish I had a million more.

Check out her ingredient lists:

8″   Whole Wheat Flour
10″ BIG Whole Wheat Flour

Ingredients: organic whole wheat and unbleached white flour, water, organic sunflower oil, aluminum-free baking powder, salt, citric acid.

8″   Unbleached White Flour
10″ BIG Unbleached White Flour

Ingredients: organic unbleached white flour, water, organic sunflower oil, aluminum-free baking powder, salt, citric acid.

I just went to grab the link to her “where to buy” page, and discovered that I CAN have more Stacey’s Tortillas! They stock them at our local natural food store up here in Denton, The Cupboard!

Seriously, if you can get your hands on some, give them a try. Super yum.

**DUH. I got free tortillas. My receiving free tortillas did not impact my review of said tortillas, cause my opinion is not for sale, and even if it WAS I might have sold it for some of these totally freaking awesome tortillas. So, there.
