Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Hope you feel better soon. Prayers and hugs sent to you.
I never had the steroid injections before. The podiatrist did not offer me the treatment. His inserts are not working too good that I purchased at his office for $50. Loose and slip forward. The ice bottle and exercises work better so far. I might consider injections if my foot continues to hurt. Thank you.
In case I've missed somebody, wishing everybody good healthy days ahead. 💗
eb - mother was a physiotherapist and believed strongly in exercise. If you keep doing those exercises they should help the underlying condition, not just get rid of the pain. I haven't had it since I exercised. I notice the tendons in my ankles get sore if I don't walk enough. Glad various things are helping.
need - so good to hear your daughter is getting better and they are taking precautions at her workplace.
Barb, I rolled the ice bottle over my foot as you suggested. It really worked well. Right now foot feels better. I don't know why podiatrist did not offer me cortisone injections. He has the same thing and knows how painful it is. He probably wanted to see how the inserts works first before anything invasive. I just might get the custom ones.
Thank you all for your kindness!
Thanks, she said that her taste is coming back. Her cough is still lingering a bit. She’s been drinking hot tea.
I am too. She says that she is going to wear a mask when returning to work. They eased up on wearing masks because all of the employees were vaccinated. This new variant is highly contagious. She thinks it’s better to go back to wearing a mask.
She is staying home longer than the required quarantine time, they have deep cleaned and sanitized her office. Doctors have said that the Delta variant packs a much stronger punch, more contagious and symptoms vary, even among those vaccinated like my daughter. She felt pretty funky.
