Plantar Fasciitis

This is one of the pictures that I took while we had our Team Builder last week. It was a "behind the scenes" experience and "TOTALLY" awesome to be this close to the animals.
Another experience in my life was an "unexpected" turn and I will be out of work 2-8 weeks. I am having surgery on my right heel. I have Plantar Fasciitis, which is a type of infection or irritation in your tendons and tissue that can develop when you stand on your feet too long. Therapy only made it hurt more.
Dr Funk (yes. That;s his name) said I had 3 choices -
1. Do nothing and live with the pain
2. Continue with therapy, which isn't helping
3. Have surgery

I was ready to have him cut off the foot if that would have stopped the aching and pain up the back of my leg, but he assured me that surgery was the way to go. So, tomorrow morning at 6:30, Charles and I will be at the surgy center across from ORMC and should be home by 10. That is the plan now. You know how plans are. They can always be changed. And as has been the norm lately for me, they do.
