Well, it's a darn good thing that I sold my blogher tickets...I can't imagine walking around downtown Chicago with two CAM walker boots on.
Turns out we are right on schedule with the left and adding the right foot treatment in now. The right foot is becoming worse than the left and they think I might have a stress fracture on top of the tendon problems. Yeah, once again I am an overachiever.
I'm off for an MRI this afternoon of my right foot...then we'll try CAM walker on both feet, orthotics and PT...if that doesn't work then I will be referred to Loyola for surgery.
All in all I am very comfortable with this diagnosis and with my new doctor. At no time during my appointment was he in my personal space or did he say something unprofessional to me...I had forgotten what a good doctor looked like...today was a good reminder.
So onward and upward...and let's hope that while I'm stumbling around like Frankenstein that I don't break something else...you know, like my neck.....

i totally think you should have got one of those rascal scooters, glitzed it up with some glitter and feathers, and terrorized blogher! ;)
Ugh, two? Yikes.
You know what might help? If you send Joe to the Cheesecake Factory to buy some of that magical stuff and take one bite of it before smearing it all over your feet. They need some magical stuff! :)
(p.s. take pictures if you do that!)
Seriously, I hope that the walker, orthotics and PT do work but if not, I'm glad you are feeling more comfortable about your new doctor!
Good luck with the MRI!
Well hooray for a good doctor. :)
Oh wow. Thinking good thoughts and sending prayers your way.
Too bad you can't enjoy blogher...I bet it would have been a total scream. But I am keeping you in my prayers...everything you're going through just sounds really, really painful. Hugs.
wowee! crazy. you seem to be in good spirits. and WHOOHOO for a decent Dr. who is professional and respectful of you. YAY! that's huge!
hugs!
I am glad you feel comfortable with the diagnsis and doctor. :)
Glad you found a good doctor. Be careful out there.
Oh Melissa! I'm so sorry that you aren't doing better (but hey, thanks for the tickets!). Fingers crossed you heal quickly. Out of curiosity, how does one drive with two boots like this?
Yeah, what Michelle said!
