puppetmaker | Plantar Fasciitis is a pain in the heel

Wednesday afternoon my heel started to hurt. I recognized the pain that had been there before when I thought it was a heel spur. But it was not that but plantar fasciitis. Thursday morning was even worse when I got up after a lousy night’s sleep due to the pain in my heel radiating into my ankle. I know what I have to correct the problem it will just take a while and some patients on my part.

Timing kind of stinks. I have a few things I want to do before next weekend and Farpoint (if we can get down there). I heard from my local meteorologist (they lives on our block) that unless things change (which they may) we might get 2 inches if you stretch the definition of 2 inches. So I am not worried about the storm that is going to slam realms south of us (Sorry Popfiend). Even if we do get hit, I am off the snow shoveling team due to my heel.

Internet went out for about 6 hours yesterday but it wasn’t us it was them. Apparently when they were fixing one of the larger boxes, they managed to disconnect a number of towns that were east of the box. Yes, you read that right towns. In fact there are a couple of towns east of us that service is still not restored but they hope it will be this morning sometime. I feel better about that than I screwed something up with the new modem or (worse) the new modem is FUBAR’d after less than a week.

Saints by a field goal. I already got our food for Superbowl Sunday. Peter is going to get our traditional cake. And Peter got me a case of really great beer. When he went to see Jeff Combs as Poe (so worth the ticket price according to him), they had Raven beer which is a very nice lager. Peter drove out of his way to get some for me and I have been enjoying them since.

Off to do foot exercises.

I am grateful that I realized what was going on with my foot before it got much worse.
