Heres to Dixie Cups!

Well 3 weeks and 3 days in.  Monday I saw the PT and she started me doing some stretching. I wasn’t real excited about that since it really felt bad. Yesterday I saw the Doc and he said he reviewed my xray and thinks I have a small crack on a Bone Spur on the heel where the Achilles attaches. I am not convinced since there is no real pain there. Most of the pain is more in the general area of the Paroneal tendon and deep behind the achilles. I guess that could be a crack.

Good news though, I get to take the boot off and start walking on the foot. Bad news, it hurts like a beeatch! He said it would hurt and swell and that I should Ice massage it 3-5 times a day with a frozen Dixie cup of ice. Cute little irony there since it was a dixie cup that did this too me. I said it hurt and the Doc told me to suck it up.  Dick!

So I am walking and if I am lucky in three weeks I might get to start a slow come back. Right now I really don’t see that happening but the body does heal fast. In 4 weeks I will be in Kona for a nice deserved vacation and some maintenance on the house. I really hope to get in a few short runs by then and do some Island Running. That would be awesome!
