We are home from Illinois ... it was hot in Chicago, but not nearly as hot as St. Louis. Wow! I neglected to mention in the previous post that my foot is starting to pull off the ground again, very similar to last year when it did not stay flat. I noticed this long ago and then it became more evident on Friday at the surgeon's office when she could put almost her entire hand under the front of my foot and we both realized that the foot isn't making contact with the ground. It is most obvious over the big toe area, but there is a gap of close to 3/4" that should not be there .... i.e. all the toes need to touch the ground. It is hard to not be a bit stressed about it, because in the past this was a major problem. There is no easy or good solution for fixing it.
Pray that this doesn't get any worse or better yet that the forefoot area relaxes and improves. I don't notice any difference with the steroid shot yet. The forefoot area must be packed with scar tissue because the doctor had to really work to even get the needle into the skin. Pt is Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Keep believing that it will improve!
