My Left Foot

My GP diagnosed the pain in my left heel as Plantar Fasciitis. Gave me a script for naproxen, 500mg. Also said a good treatment is to submerge your foot in a bucket of ice! Holy schnikies! I think that would be only slightly less pleasant than pounding my testicles flat with a mallet. Standing on it for hours on end really doesn't feel good. I need to look into the exercises that are supposed to help.

As I am typing this, I have the World Series on the tube, and I have now heard and seen Chevy's "This is our country" ad for the 9 millionth time. I am so sick of it I could puke. Come to think of it, their previous campaign featured the song, "Like A Rock", which ran for fucking years. Yes, I was sick of that one too.

My dog Brandy is doing better. She has hip dysplasia, and is quite old. She is on Prednisone now, and doesn't seem to be in any pain, although she stumbles around a bit.

Today's pains

Well, I got a new blade for my razor-knofe thingy at work. The old one was too dull. So I carefully replaced it, without injury, and continued at my work. I noticed a small amount of something on the blade, so I took a damp green wipe and pulled the blade through it.

Bad decision.

I knew immediately that I had cut my finger, but there was no blood. It didn't really hurt either. After what seemed like a minute, blood appeared on my middle finger. I'm off to get a bandaid, while the blood keeps coming, so I have to put my other hand underneath to keep from spilling any. I wash my hands and apply pressure for a bit to get the bleeding stopped. I'm off to a good start today!
