Well it looks like I am down in my foot again for whatever reason. I have made sure to avoid the things the doctors said to avoid, I haven't been drinking alcohol (as a matter of fact went all throughout St. Patty's day without a drop), and I haven't been doing anything insane like walking barefoot across acid. I just get the feeling that foot wise, I'm doomed. I've tried insoles, I take Ibuprofen and other anti-inflamatories, tried foot rubs, massage, reiki, and inevitably, it always returns. Yes, I have even been to the doctor about it, and a foot specialist, and all they can tell me is "I can't find anything wrong." Then they prescribe pills and charge me an arm and a leg for the visit, only to try and sue me again later, after I have assured them I have no job, my foot being part of the reason.
How many employers do you know who would keep someone on staff who had to be out a month at a time because of foot problems? Especially considering the field where I have the most experience, food. Its insane, but anyway. I have been monitoring EVERYTHING I eat, and am drinking mucho H2O. Somehow in the back of my mind I seem to think that will help me. Then my rational mind speaks of surgery, weight loss, vegetarianism, etc.
