    I never thought I would actually look forard to the trainer! We had awful weather this w/e so nobody was out riding. It made it easier to stay put.

    Today was a sloggy day. Tough to get out of the house this morning, tough to muster any enthusiasm. But heck, it was Monday, I am sure half the world felt that way!

    I've had plantar fasciitis a couple times in the past and not too long ago noticed a lump on the bottom of my foot. There's no pain or anything, (yet!) but I'll be keeping an eye on it. I'm hoping it doesn't develop into anything!

    I was able to push it off for two years by using orthotics. They really helped.

    truthfully, I am so exhausted between not sleeping and crutching that I am not yet antsy. It will come and I guess when it starts I will know I am on the mend.

    back to the doc tomorrow, my hope is that the stitches will come out and that the crutches will get an expiration date.

    I was going to suggest this would be a good time for any sedentary projects you might have been putting off. Like going through boxes of old photos and putting them into albums, or organizing those old financial documents that we are supposed to save for X number of years and purging/shredding the old ones. But it's better if you're not exhausted (or zonked out on pain killers) when you do that sort of thing, which often makes it hard to do them when you've got forced down-time due to injury.

    Do be careful not to overdo things when you get off the crutches. Easier said than done, I know. But we don't want you to injure something else!

    Good luck with the doctor tomorrow.

    Believe it or not, no painkillers. Not a one. I have had very little surgical pain, just uncomfortable from the cast at night.

    So once i can hobble unaided, shredding stuff sounds like a wonderful idea! heck I will be stoked to vacum!

    Lordy, speaking of which I hope I get off the crutches tomorrow, we have holiday company coming next w/e and staying. YIKES.
