Back from the podiatrist. I have plantar fibroid - that’s the lump in my arch - and tendonitis. He’s going to prescribe anti-inflammatory medication for the tendonitis and also an ankle brace. They’ll email the information so we can save money by buying it on Amazon instead of through the practice!

Also arthritis, but that’s not what’s causing the problems.

Well, it’s a relief to know what has been causing so much pain, and I wasn’t surprised by anything except the plantar fibroid. I sort of suspected tendonitis, as it’s something that comes along with sports. And you’re a sporty kind of gal!

Excellent that you can get the ankle brace on Amazon. Medical equipment is always too high-priced, no matter what. But again, if you don’t mind, I’d appreciate you keeping me informed — when you start to use and if it helps. Just curiosity, so if you don’t want to, you don’t have to!

I came through the hallway and thought I wanted to pack some books, and even just looking at them wore me out, so I think tomorrow will be a better day for it.
