It turns out the reason PT is not going as well as I’d like is that I have two bone spurs — one at the back of my foot, which causes incredible stiffness, and another at the top, which causes severe pain when I walk. I sat down with one of the therapists today and we’re figuring out how to best loosen it up with stretches. Because I’ll be damned if I’m having another surgery anytime soon.
Fortunately for me, at least I’m stuck here in the central air while the rest of the city sizzles through this awful heat wave.

oh maaan. Sounds like you have good therapists, though. And you have the perseverance of a train 😀 . Plus A/C. You go, girl!
