The orthopedic I've been seeing about my foot troubles has put my right
foot in "da boot". Essentially it's like a cast but I can take it off
for bathing. I'm not supposed to take it off except for bathing. The whole point of the thing is to coerce the plantar fascia into
stetching back out to normal and not contracting up so tight that it
shreds into cube steak every time I take a step.
It's actually Ok to walk in, and a helluva lot easier to sleep in than the night splints. But the big thing is I can't drive w/ the damn thing on. Which means if I have to go somewhere I have to take the boot off to drive, then put it back on before I get out of the car. Something I discovered is a MAJOR PAIN IN THE ASS, esp in the small confines of a Saturn SL. So for the next month, I will be doing very little exteraneous driving.
