IT'S OFFICIAL---I'm Injured!

I had to break down and go see a foot/ankle specialist today to diagnose my mysterious injury. I kept hoping it would get better on its own, but to no avail; it just continued to worsen. As you probably know now, if you have read many of my previous posts, I DO NOT LIKE FEET! This was more than torture because of the discomfort of the injury, but mainly torture due to the fact that this doctor was going to have to touch my foot and xray it....ewwwww! She did do that and in turn gave me the following diagnosis....there is an extra bone in my foot (yes one that's not suppose to be there) which seems to be irritating the tendon around it. Why this happened after nearly 42 years of life.....who knows? I had to receive a steroid injection in the tendon in my foot (not pleasant but not as bad as I thought-after all I have given birth 5 times), and I will be wearing the ever so lovely ankle sleeve for the next 2 weeks. The good news is that it doesn't look like it is going to require any surgery to remove the extra bone, the bad news is I have to wear gym shoes for 2 weeks....no flip flops, heels or anything remotely cute; but I can certainly live with that. However this Saturday, I will be breaking the rules and wearing something more fashionable than gym shoes. Our church is hosting its semi formal GALA to raise money for various missions, and I will NOT be wearing gym shoes. I may be wearing stylish flip flops versus the cute very high heels I originally intended to wear, but gym shoes will not be a part of my semi formal attire. It's only for a few hours, and I will probably sit down most of the evening just to avoid limping and discomfort. NPayne is much more disappointed about the no heels than I....did I ever mention he is a SHOE man? He is!
