Worked all day in the admit nursery : D. Fun times with the newest additions to the world!! Love my job!! Babies rule!! DAY 7 NO running. Oh I did do a 30 second or so jaunt on the grass at a soccer fielf barefoot. Felt lovely. Ankle and PF-like symptoms (probably really my back referred numbness pain) coming and going all day. Left foot does not seem right anymore. It inverts when it used to have an arch. When I make a wet footprint I have NO arch on my left foot (way flat footed) and my right foot has a normal arch. I have done this test many times with my feet (you know when you read an article "what foot type are you?" when searching for running shoes in the RW guide) and have always had an arch in both feet. Not sure how I lost the strength in my left foot tendons/nerves??? hope I didn't do permanent damage ignoring my back all along. At least the pain in my hamstring which really was a NERVE not my muscle (sciatica) has completely subsided. That was intense. Hip is also better and lower back does not hurt. My foot and ankle go numb. Day three on steroids. Crossing fingers.

spoke too soon. My lower back and hip are burning with sciatica pain and my ankle is tinglings to the bottom of my foot and along my left side of my left calf. ....after injections comes the MRI comes the surgery this fall if injections don't work. my mother was all better within a week when her entire left leg was numb and painful when she was 42!!! Surgery cured her. Another friend at work had the very same awesome outcome. I am tired of a leg that feels like it is not a leg but a peg of pain. Went swimming today. Water flushes the pain sensations away :D. Love swimming!! biking tomorrow.
