Foot in a Boot!

That's boot -  not boat! 

For a year my left heel has been hurting. It started after the softball game at last year's pastor appreciation picnic. That was October 2020. I got an xray and the doctor told me it was a bone spur and inflammation of the Achilles tendon. She referred me to a sport's medicine specialist.

I went Wednesday hoping he would give me a shot, fix me up and I'd be back to normal. Nope. Don't do shots in the Achilles. Might rupture! I sure don't need that. 

The solution? Wear a boot for 6 weeks.  

Well, I wore it out of the office and for the rest of the day until church time. This obviously would put my boat building in a crimp. The more I thought about it, the more I figured I just as well wait until after Christmas to wear that boot. Get my hull done, holiday over and then during the heart of winter build my sail.

Today my foot felt really good, probably the best it has felt for a year. Maybe just a day's rest helped? 

At this point, I'm going to take it a day at a time. Maybe wear the boot some, Maybe not. I'd sure like to get that hull turned by New Year's Day.
