Today was relatively easy. I went to PT in the morning, sat in the coffee shop to write (and the parents with the unruly child took turns taking him outside why the other ate so no one would be disturbed, thank you to them) and the rest of the day was me working on my research until my eyes bled ( Read more... )

what's wrong with my foot is exactly what I thought was wrong, peroneal (fibularis) tenosynovitis with post-static dyskinesia. Basically, tendons are in a sheath that helps them glide about. With tenosynovitis, the sheath is inflamed and the sheath and tendon all but become glued together. the swelling in my foot is still pretty pronounced even ( Read more... )

Mom and I both had podiatry appointments. I almost canceled mine (as I AM a podiatrist and I could tell my foot was healed) He agreed. My feet are in excellent condition (as they should be) Most likely because of the bad architecture of my foot I had stress fractured my big toe up and down the steps at my parents at Christmas so 2 1/2 months out ( ( Read more... )

I have two different pains. My knee is killing me. It feels like a curling iron is across the back of it which is nerve pain. I'm not sure if this is merely because I'm not riding the bike right now. I will get back to it on Saturday. It's also hurting right on the quadriceps tendon. Now it has been since the beginning and now it's no longer a ( Read more... )

Apparently my university decided it hates us and it was 50F (10C) in my office today. I like it cold but I'm SURE it impressed the mother who came with her child to register for classes today ( Read more... )

I didn't really expect it was but it was good to check. So had the x-ray. NP says you have a HUGE plantar heel spur. Yes I know but that's not where the pain is. NP: Your Achilles has a crown of spurs around it, big ones. Me: Yes I know, doesn't hurt there either. It hurts here. (points to circle drawn on foot with sharpie). Long story short, it's ( Read more... )

I planned to go to the write in tomorrow but it's supposed to snow and be like 18 degrees. So that's a 100 mile round trip. I think I'll skip it. Ah well. I was looking forward to it ( Read more... )

So now I have a broken toe to go with the broken tooth. Same toe I broke last year. At least it took me 13 months to rebreak it this time. Oddly enough it ached liked it was broken yesterday to the point I was checking it to see what was wrong. Apparently it knew it was going to meet the sweeper head on today ( Read more... )

As I'm too foggy brained to post a writerly ways and I already did Jana's weekly round up. I am starting to feel marginally better as of @7 pm but that's hardly news worthy ( Read more... )

At least my hot water tank gave up and spewed everywhere last night and NOT when I'm gone for 10 days. Everything would have been ruined instead of just today. SOrry for ruining your day Landlord but... And it was ruined. I didn't have enough time to kill the power and cool that tank. They tried to drain it. It was SO filled with calcium deposits ( Read more... )
