schestowitzMy foot is getting better in a way, but this morning when I walked to the Post Office something rather minor happened and for a period of time I could feel the same pain again. It was better by the time I started walking back home, it's still generally improving, putting aside temporary incidents of minor pain. I've taken my 5th pillow and now use it to cushion while I site, hopefully all will be fine by the weekend.Mar 29 15:38
