I hate doctors. No really. I have had a ridiculous pain in my right heel and a swollen ankle in said heel since mid November and I refused to go to the doctor because I hate’emhate’emhate’em. Instead I just mastered the art of the discreet limp. But then I googled blog-clot this morning and got freaked out b/c it said you can die if it’s not treated (BAH!) so off I went this afternoon. The doctor laughed at the idea that I thought I had a blood clot because I have excellent circulation (yeah Bikram Yoga!) and was puzzled by my refusal to see a doctor about the intense pain for upwards of what? More than four months? Is that right? Holy Crap I am stubborn. Anywhoo…the doc says no blood clots—I have Plantar Fasciitis and a super Novocain-ed up right footsie—from a cortisone shot with a needle so deep it hit bone. TMI? Yeah..try being the patient who had to watch, pop some meds and then go back to work.

good times.
