Arthritis!

This morning I was so stiff and sore from running yesterday and then shopping that I just walked for 20 minutes on the TM.

This afternoon I saw Dr. Redburn and she thinks I have some arthritis going on in my right foot.  Took xrays and there is no stress fracture or anything broken at all.  The fact that it comes and go indicates to her it's arthritis.  She's putting me on a course of steroids for 6 days to see if that helps.  She looked at my orthotics and think they are fine and I don't need new ones.

Well, at least you know something. Or think you know something! Will the steroids have a long lasting impact if they work?

I did nothing today. Except feel rotten. And mope. And whine.

I know how you feel!

I'm taking today off again and maybe more than today. I started on the steroids yesterday and, while the good news is that my foot is not bothering me at all this morning, the bad news is that I don't feel like I slept a wink last night. Oh, I slept some but was awake and tossing and turning all night long. "Trouble sleeping" is one of the listed side effects of this drug and is apparently the one I'm having. So, very tired this morning and not sure I'll accomplish anything today.

I sure hope you have a better night of sleep. Tossing and turning is the worst!
