Still frustrated

I am waiting to hear back whether my podiatrist will give me a cortisone shot for possible tarsal tunnel.  The nurse was doubtful.  He isn't in today, so that is at least Tuesday.

I just called and talked with a physical therapy place in Seymour, and they informed me that the "prescription" expired 30 days after it was written (June).  I talked a bit with a therapist to find out what can be done for some that doesn't exhibit tell-tale signs of anything being wrong - no limit in range of movement etc - just pain.  Alex said it was worth a shot.

So I called the orthopedic surgeon's office, and they are going to verify with the dr that I can have a new order for physical therapy, then will fax it directly to the place I spoke with.  IF for some reason the dr decided he would NOT give me a new order, then they'll call.

I did talk to the nurse that was in on everything last Friday during my physical, and she spoke with the dr - the "specialist" at IU would just be another podiatrist.  That is really hard for me to do (Alex agrees) to just see a 3rd podiatrist.  They are willing to help me get in with someone, but that just doesn't seem to be a helpful path at this point, so I'm letting that lay dormant for now.

I'm even reconsidering these barefoot tennis shoes - I don't know if I'm still suffering from those socks from Saturday or what.  I'm wearing regular socks today and the Vivobarefoot tennies - but my feet aren't very good.  It doesn't help that they're pretty cold.  I wore my worn-out JCP slippers during preschool time this morning.  These Vivobarefoot shoes aren't really feeling any better.

I have another 2 pairs of shoes coming today via UPS - one is a barefoot style, and one is a regular cushioned walking shoe, from a list I found online late last week.

I put a call in about the carpet - wondering about the termite info I received on Friday, and found out that Jason (my contact) is out today, and the gal I spoke with didn't have a clue about a carpet job today (really?!) that was supposed to have been last week, but the termites put the work off until today.  That just seems outlandish.  Anyway, she is leaving a message for Jason to call me tomorrow.

And that's where things stand for now.
