Living For My Bum Foot

So, I went to a new podiatrist the other day. Wow! What a difference from the useless Dr T that I have been going to for a few months. As soon as I walked in the door I knew I was going to see a better doctor. The offices were beautiful. Yes, it is in Weston which is a pain in the ass to get to but it's definitely doable and totally worth it.

The doctor seemed very knowledgeable and extremely cute which is a plus. He asked me some very interesting questions and gave me a foot exam. He played with my feet, asked me to walk for him and made me feel as if he was really on my side. It was a good feeling.

He sent me home with a TENS unit which I have to use 3 times a day for an hour. I have to ice my foot and then roll it on a tennis ball 3 times a day. I have to do exercises against the wall 3 times a day and do towel pickups 3 times a day. Oh yeah, it's good that I don't have job at the moment because who would have time to work?

I am waiting for the MRI place to call me to schedule the test. I have vascular studies and neurological tests scheduled for Monday and I'm hoping that the tests show that it's just Plantar Fasciitis and not Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome. Physical therapy starts Tuesday and I'll be doing it three times a week for a while.

No I am not giving up yoga. I just won't. I told Dr S that I was a yoga girl and he didn't say that I had to stop so I'm taking that as an okay to continue. It's the only exercise that I've been doing lately. I love it and won't give it up. No Vinyasa flow though. Just easy Hatha.

Well, hopefully all this will help and I'll be able to get my life back and stop living for my bum foot.
