About five months ago the heel of my foot started to hurt. I had a bone spur problem about 7 years ago and it kinda felt like it again. I tried all the stuff recommended by the doctor then, night boot, which is a pain in the rear when you have to pee at night, arch supports, morning stretches, heel cup, and rest, but nothing worked as it did before. I knew the only solution was going to be a cortisone shot and was so not looking forward to it. But with the cruise this week-end and the Alaska trip in May I knew I could not do all the walking required with my foot hurting. So today was the day to see the doctor. She showed me the spur on the x-ray but said I was not a candidate for surgery. So anti-inflammatory pills, new shoe insoles, a foot taping, and a shot should fix it right up. I was ok with the first 3 items, but knew the shot was going to hurt like @&%* and true to my belief it did. Luckily she said I should not need another shot and I am not sure I could live through another one. It is still pretty sore, so I hope tomorrow it is better.
Beth has already started the count down, in hours, til we fly for Florida. Kinda scary hearing every morning when we wake how many more hours we have. Only a few little things left to pack and do around the house, so we are in good shape.
Giovanni's Pizza finally opened today. We ordered from them for dinner and it is great food. The have all types of pizza, salads, sandwiches, and 8 different french fries. The dinners are hugh. Beth said next time we would get one dinner and split it because they are hugh. They don't do delivery and are not open on Sunday, but have great food. Try them sometime. They are located on 724 right before you turn off to come to our house.
