I visited Dr. C. on Wednesday - 6 weeks to the day since he put me in "the boot". Since my heel is looking good and feeling good, I no longer need to wear the boot! I was confident and came to the appointment prepared with my other sneaker :) My custom orthotics should be in next week. I will have to break them in before I workout or run in them. I misunderstood what Dr. C. had told me at an earlier appointment. I will need to be fitted for Neutral running shoes (not minimalist) with the orthotics placed inside of them. I plan to go over to Big Peach, our local running store, as soon as I pick up my orthotics. I start physical therapy next Friday. After that evaluation appointment, I hope to have a better idea of when I can start running again. I'm itching to put together a new training calendar; I've got big running plans! In the meantime, the doc gave me the ok to walk and exercise which I did today; it felt great!
Today, I visited my dermatologist for a full body scan. I have been going annually for the last four years. All spots look normal according to her so she recommended I return in 18 months for the next scan. She also recommended that I return in the fall for another laser treatment. I had a couple of treatments done on some scarring that I have from radiation. She would like to try a different type of treatment to fade the area. Have you gone for a full body scan? It doesn't take long and it could save your precious life!
Life is good!
