Foot update
I went back to the podiatrist's today for a check on my foot. The shot improved things greatly (I took a few walks this week, and while my toes were a bit numb, they were much better than the pain I had been in previously), but not completely healed. So I got another cortisone shot and am gimping around again, but *crosses fingers* I really hope this will zap it completely. He didn't schedule another appointment, just said to come back if I was still having problems. Woot!
