OUCH!!

Well I finally went to the doctor today. I made an appointment with the foot specialist a couple weeks ago. I got there today and they told me they could not find my appointment. Great. I wait three years to go to the doctor and they lose my appointment. The receptionist called his nurse and they got me in right away. Huh? I was so releived. I waited for about five minutes listening to old people gripe about getting old and they called me in.
The doctor was really good. He looked at my foot and the other one had me stand and told me what was wrong. He could not believe I had not been in sooner. Working at Kraft standiong on cement floors... Appartently I have really high arches. So the foot does not absorb any of the shock. He said I must have an extremely high tolerance to pain because this was the worst he has ever seen. Ya right Phil.
So he got a bandaide out and put it on my foot and sent me on my way. I asked if that would fix it and he said yes. Now you know why I waited 3 years to see the doctor. Oh ya and the bill was...
Actually he said that this bandaide pad he put on would be a real good indicator of whether I can get orthotics. He said it looked like a real good candidate for them. So I need to wear this pad for three days with out getting it wet and come back next week to get some orthotics made hopefully. This is what I was hpoing for since a few people at work have them and say they really help. The whole keeping it dry for three days is going to suck since I have not bathed in 4 days already. I am really going to stink after a whole week. ;-)
