reverse of loop in the warmer then expected fall air.  short sleeves removed gloves and head band and capris.  pf is NOT my friend.  it is either continuous injections that last 6 weeks or surgery or a new found cure for this malady.    easy pace relaxed thinking too much...ap 8:03 for 5.11.

bad news.  heel,  where spur has been, swelled up and extremely painful to touch or walk on.  managed 7.5 hours at work in clogs that lift heel up but still limped all day.  left work early.  some thoughts-- stress fracture??  heel spur fracture?  pseudogout?  not regular gout that has high uric acid levels, I have been tested for it three times when I have had my big toe swell in the last 10 years.  pseudogout is just like regular gout except the type of crystals that form-- calcium poryphosphylate sp?? in pseudogout.  The pain in heel came on sudden and increased in intensity within 24 hours to unbearable pain that even blankets on my heel was painful.  see podiatrist friday.  basically rheumatologist can't see me as I hoped for quite some time.  there is only one in the valley.  even though his dad is in my ward i am not able to get in too quickly.  no answers to chronic joint inflammation, mainly in my heel, = ANXIETY/depression.  I tried an antidepressant lexapro---NO WAY  I felt so bad with just one pill--- itching all over and dry mouth.  NOT taking that anymore.  Seriously would feel better just with some answers.  And some stress relief from not working full time anymore so I can focus on my daughters : D.

steroid shot in to side of heel  # 6 this year-- one Jan 30 one march 27, one may 14, one june 11, one sept. 26, and today.  First one by ankle, second heel, third pretty close to fleshy part of heel--bad reaction, june 11-- heel--good one, 9/20 achilles, today same as june 11.   This year so much pressure because I signed up for grand slam.  Now I have no worries about all that competition.  Just going to heal.   five weeks off began Wednesday, November 13 :D.  Time to do it for real.  No running for five weeks but begin cycling and strength training in two weeks.  steroid possibly in wrong spot as dr. distracted getting cold spray and missed where he marked it by 1/4 inch. : (

worked all day as admit nurse.  amber to birthday party for Kendall, while brooke, brooke , courtney and troy froze at last byu foot ball game.  we won by a lot.  snowed and rained.  foot feeling better by end of shift despite the initial worry of the pain radiating to my pinky toe due to the last push of steroid close to bone which aggravated nerve.  hopeful.  but still going to obey my orders to lay off the running so I can heal.
