We caulked the outside and inside so when it rains the water doesn’t seep under the base plate from the exposed concrete. Loaded all our tools, cleaned up, shut down the house and that’s how we left it for now. I still need to get up there with a bobcat and do some grading and put down more gravel for the driveway.
We got home around 7:30pm Sunday night. Unloaded my stuff and had just enough time to eat, shower and get ready to go to work. But when I sat down on the couch, I couldn’t stand back up. Something is definitely wrong with my foot. I mean the only thing that didn’t hurt on my body was my right ear lobe but I couldn’t walk so I ended up calling off work. That is a rare thing for me.
The next morning I wasn’t any better. I tried to walk it off but I couldn’t put any pressure on my left foot at all. I finally swallowed my pride and went to the clinic.
I hobbled in and they took X-rays and I have a stupid calcaneal spur (bone spur) on my heal that’s digging into my tendon. Took Monday night off work and headed to foot doctor on Tuesday. They tell me not only the bone spur but I also have plantar fasciitis and I’m gonna need surgery. Both clinics wanted me to take time off work and give me pain meds which I can’t take because work will not let me come in. I got anti-inflammatory drugs from express clinic and I had foot doctor hit me with 3 shots of cortisone. That was, let’s just say, not fun.
Surgery is gonna have down for 5-7 weeks and I told Dr, that’s not gonna happen until after snowmobile season I guarantee you that. Have a follow up visit 10-19 where I know they are gonna tell me it has to be done but I’m hoping this cortisone kicks in soon, it’s been 2 days and still sucks to walk on but I’ve been coming to work and trying to work on my truck. I’m suppose to stay off of it but I’m leaving Tuesday to go to Tennessee. I sure hope I can prolong this until March. Wish me luck.
