Like Lim-o-zeens For the Feet

That must have been an old commercial for some kind of shoes, but it's what my sister always says when she puts on a pair of comfortable shoes: "Just like lim-o-zeens for the feet." I went to the podiatrist again today, and this time he strapped up both of my feet, and I'm still wearing crocs, so it's like I'm walking on pillows with no pain at all. This is a good thing, my friends. And I saw his diagnosis on my file: heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, pain on ambulation. Sounds great, hmmm? Wouldn't you like some of that for yourself?

Anyway, I had asked him what he thought of crocs the first time I was there and he said "Not much." But today, I told him it was the only shoe I could wear and he looked at mine, and said "Hey, these have straps around the ankle!" and I explained that they all do, but most people wear them with the straps up. He said he'd only seen them worn that way, and his only objection to them was that they had no support in the back, so now we have it from an eminent podiatrist, everybody: crocs are just fine for for your feet, as long as you wear them with the ankle strap down in the back.

The strapping, while it feels great, is really such a pain. I'm going to look in CVS later and see if a foot brace will do just as well, you know, one you can take off when you shower instead of having to wrap both your feet in plastic bags. Since I have my extra bucks coupon in my hot little hand, they won't even cost anything.

I did neglect to mention that Wednesday was also a big day for me: my five year diary anniversary. Part of me would like to tell you all -- again -- how much this means to me and how it has become such an important part of my life, but then I remember: you know. You are an important part of my life. Thanks.

...and ...

later.

Did a few things after school, but never did get to CVS. The strapping is now driving me crazy, but yet still my feet don't hurt, so the feelings are definitely mixed here. I'm predicting a short life for this stuff. He even put the stuff over my tattoo! Gotta get to the CVS tomorrow.

My plan for tomorrow, if it doesn't rain, is to see if I can follow the Google directions to the airport I'm flying out of in a couple of weeks. I'll put something nice on the iPod and the colors should be beautiful just an hour or so north of here. But I'll see how things are in the morning. If I sleep at all late, I won't go, I'll go another time.

And now my foot itches. It's not a good sign.
