So! I went to see my lovely Dr (in the very lovely clinic - next day appoinments and everything!), who listened to me going OW OW LEG OW WHY? while nodding and prodding notes on the computer. Also asked him about the podiatrist, but he said since there was PAIN he'd prefer to refer me back to the Orthopedic guys and packed me off to the hospital next door (v. handy that) to get xrayed.
Sadly in these days of digital xraying, they do not give you copies but they did let me look at them on the screen. I had forgotten how big the screws were! Also now I know exactly where they are, I can be fairly sure it is them causing a lot of the pain while walking (the pain *after* walking i'm not sure sure about, I guess the Orthopedic guys will...). On the downside, they definitely don't look easily accessible for removal. Will just have to wait for appoinment to come through and see.
Unfortunately, during the prodding of notes Lovely Dr. I. noticed I had been sent reminders to go for a ... Lady Check, which I had been studiously ignoring (well, mostly forgetting about really), so have made appointment for that too. Joy.
This evening, I have mostly been lazing, pottering around the garden and wrestling with stupid wireless which keeps cutting out. Now have laptop connected directly to modem, which seems to defeat the point somehow. May need a new router I guess (since internets working fine otherwise it seems). Or... something. Damn technology!
And now, dinner time! I have a hankering for beans on toast tonight I think.
