Home stretch
Mar. 8th, 2007 08:37 pmSo I went to see the podiatrist to see if my foot has improved since the last visit. Mostly good news from his end. We could see new bone growing in my x-rays and the swelling was down enough I wouldn't necessarily have to wrap it anymore, although I still have to ice and take it easy. That's one burden off me. Wrapping my ankle adds extra time in my morning routine and those self-adhesive bandages are nice, but they irritate my skin. It's become particularly irritated on the tendon across the top of my foot, which he said was an unusual injury. Why should I do anything normal? He wants me to stay in the aircast until the end of the month and then I'll start transitioning into the black orthopedic shoe. I've been through this drill before, so I know when to say when is ready. He wanted to work in the transitioning at work, but with my old building's layout that would be difficult at best. Still good news for all intents and purposes. Apparently they did a brisk business after the Valentine's day ice storm, which I can believe. They thought I was quite wise staying home and playing it safe. Yesterday I felt almost silly calling it a day, until the late afternoon when all I could see was white and it was still coming down when I would normally be coming home from work. Then I didn't feel so bad. I'm hoping the rest of March cooperates.
I should be back to normal shoes by Loreena concert in April, though I'm not sure about the Cherry Blossoms this year. That involved a lot of walking. After this is over, I may revisit the old hip injury with an orthopedic, because I'm concerned about the fact I've had two similar ankle injuries in such a short period. Something is off and/or something is compensating.
Work is buzzing along. We're going through staff at an alarming rate. I finally joined the 21st century and am getting direct deposit. March unfortunately means basketball. I have a Syracuse fan in our office, so they had the tv tuned to the game against Notre Dame, instead of our usual CSPAN or CNN. Bama already lost to Kentucky.
