Post-Surgery Update

For my mom, who is only allowed to read this post if she promises not to call me up and tell me to take it easy or even stop running.

I went to the podiatrist on Thursday. He is pleased that the swelling is down but a little concerned about the "tenderness at the tendon junction." My next appointment is the week before the Wasatch Back at which time, if the tenderness is still there, he will shoot a steroid into my foot to convert the fibrin (scar tissue) into elastin. It doesn't sound pleasant but I know it will help, if I need it. In the meantime, the pain I feel is bearable and I won't do any damage by continuing to run on it, so run run run I will!
