I'm on the list too. Last week, I got terrible bursitis in my left hip and while it's healing it seems to be a slow process. It's just from hiking too fast and too far. No more overdoing it for me since it totally sucks being injured and now sick on top of it. Yesterday, I just developed shingles across my back and chest and am in agony with pain. So far it doesn't seem to be spreading further, but I'm not looking forward to the next few weeks. Just when the weather gets nice my body breaks down on me.

She's had problems with it for years from work (repetitive motions) and they finally decided to fix it for her. She had surgery yesterday.

I saw the patient (wolfeyes) again yesterday and she was looking pretty good. Pain meds had put a perma-grin on her face. I think she'll recover just fine.

I'm Still ALIVE
I am half way through my therapy. 2 more weeks to go on this phase. Then I go for 6 weeks of rehab.

My back pain is gone, a good sign but I am still taking my pain meds and wearing a back brace.

summer I meant an END of her pain is in sight. As in she only has two more weeks to go...sheesh. Tango knows I'd never say anything mean to her. And who are YOU summergirl? I've never seen or met you. So don't go turning my words around.

Stovie, I thought the same thing when Pixie said scooter.

Pixie, I hope you are not wearing any of those shoes you post pictures of. Your feet will never get well. Leave the high heels to DeoreDX.

There was a kid names Dan who has a scooter in high school. He was a very tiny kid, and he had a very large helmet. Thus he was thereafter known as "Dark Helmet" ala Spaceballs. It was brilliant. It was hilarious to see this tiny kid with his mo-ped with Melvins and Sex Pistols stickers all over it. Good guy actually. He died of cancer a couple years back. Good guy. RIP Dark Helmet. I feel really old sometimes. Death makes me feel old. Wow, that hit me like a ton of bricks just now.

No. I'm wearing only flat shoes as of late.

Had my podiatrist appt today. I'm allowed to start rehabbing it a little and walk normal. But I'm supposed to walk really slow and take small strides so as not to bend my foot too much. Getting there, getting there.

Hiking and heels soon? We might have to do a girls night out... Just for the shoe thing!

Rehab is the light at the end of the tunnel. My foot is doing much better. See the podiatrist on Friday.

Good for both of you. Rehab takes work, but it's good work. Think of grunting up a mountain.

Geo, I'm enjoying the rehab, because I get to finally move my foot and get some exercise.

I begged him to let me do SOMETHING, so he gave me a few exercises before I started on Monday. Four weeks of rehab, I love it!

I'm on the list now. HPM scrubbed the kitchen floor thoroughly; he even took up the ac vent cover to clean under the edges. I didn't know this when I walked in to put something on the counter. My left foot went right down the hole to my knee, scraping up my leg. My right knee twisted, popped, and then I fell on it. It's swelling and starting to bruise. We're supposed to take Laurel to the Smokies this coming weekend for a train ride. I hope I can even ride in the car by the weekend, let alone walk around. This really sucks, and hurts like Hell.
