Back in the cane gang...
I am a not-happy camper. A VERY not-happy camper. Thursday night at work I went up on tip-toes to try and reach something and there was a *POP* in the heel of my right foot... followed by excruciating pain. I hobbled back to the office and stayed there until it was time to go home, then made my way out to my truck. Blessedly, my cane has been riding 'round in the back for nearly a year and was relatively easy to dig out. And I've been wobbling about that ever since.
Given the rather pressing need to be on my feet for work, a doctor's appointment was booked, and happened yesterday. And the result of that appointment? At least it's not a bone spur. I hope. At the moment it's being treated as plantar fasciitis -and- bursitis of the Achilles tendon, both of which are aggravated by my weight. *sigh* Stay off it, she says. Stretching exercises, yeah I was already doing remarkably similar ones just to keep some flex in the foot. Arch supports, ordered.
Stay off it. How the bloody hell am I supposed to stay off it and still go to work? Dammit, I've got a convention coming up, and NOW this shit decides to erupt?
