I went to the podiatrist this morning. I will simply say that an enjoyable time was not had by all. I was told that my symptoms are too vague. What? I gave him an exhaustive list of my symptoms. Apparently trick ankle was not enough for him. He agreed that I mangled it (a sprain, i guess) last week in the shower and that led to a cortisone shot. That was on the list of my top five most painful experiences. I'll put it right up there with its next door neighbor, the tattoo.
After that, we had a discussion that involved me not wearing beautiful footwear and looking like a gardener. I heard him, but ... These conversations have gone nowhere in the past. Why should he be different.
He did trick me, so it is Dr. Doom 1, Danielle 0. He said that he wanted to tape both feet to help with the pain. I agreed. I thought he meant stabilize the ankle. Oh no. Dr. Doom had other plans. He wanted to fix something called pronated feet. Something to do with flat arches. So, my feet are taped into a most uncomfortable position.
Now, I have to <gulp> wear sneakers for a week. You see, this tape is apparently water soluble. It will be on here for five to seven days. Five to seven days of this incredibly painful tape. and sneakers. I'm now the little lawyer with sneakers.
In conclusion, this sucks.
