High Arches

ETA: Happy Birthday! keesa_renee

Visited the doctor today, who told me that he couldn't tell me if I had plantar fascitis or a heel spur without an x-ray. Basic idea, no weight bearing aerobics for a while, take loads of ibruprofen (he could have given me a prescription, but I already have the loads of ibuprofen, and it'll do that same job) use ice on foot, wear orthotics to support the arches. Oh, yay.

Anyhow, I stopped and bought a pair of the arch supports for people with super tall feet. Without them, I can't wear most sandals, clogs, and other high-throated shoes because my arches are already too high. With them, I'll be lucky if any of my shoes fit! Silly feet.

I can put up with it for a while, I guess....

That reminds me of a basic workout injury, something you get when you start doing regular aerobics, walking, jogging, etc after time off. Isn't it cruel that when you are trying to get your body into shape, it breaks on you and then you end up being worse off than when you started? This often happens to my wife, so I feel your pain. Hey, but there is always Yoga! Kara and I swear by it ^_^

My gym doesn't have yoga...hmmm. Lots of weightlifing in my future.

As soon as I sell something pro again, I'll go bacvk to fencing. My feet better be healed by then!
