gizaCheetah was in the area this weekend, and stopped by to visit. We watched a couple of really interesting movies, such as Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and Jeffrey. Nothing like Patrick Stewart acting gay, heh heh.
Due to an unavoidable delay, Cheetah's plans of leaving last night ended up getting changed into plans of leaving this morning. EARLY this morning. So, we got up at 6 AM so I could take him to the airport. Seeing that I was close to the office, I headed in around 8 AM. Sure was nice being the first person in for a change.
Later this evening, I saw Dr. S again. He seemed surprised that my foot hadn't healed yet and (surprise!) prescribed more physical therapy. Whether the insurance company will pay for it or not is an entirely different issue. He did mention that since my bursitis was rather severe, the nearby nerves may have gotten pissed off (read: compressed/damaged). Fun. If the pain continues, he'll probably send me for an MRI.
Oh well, at least I can walk for several miles without serious pain now...

You should really get it looked at, because you don't ever want it to get worse to the point that the pain is so bad that you cannot concentrate on anything. That's how bad my foot used to be, the pain was so intense that I could not think straight. (On a scale of 1 to 10, it was about a 9! Right now, it's about a 2)
>How did you get bursitis in your foot?
From a combination of walking 2 miles a day in Center City Philly while wearing hiking boots and carrying a 10 pound laptop in my left hand, which caused uneven distribution of weight, and hence more weight on my left foot.
