I absolutely hate going to the doctor. You sit in a tiny room listening to nurses talk smack about patients through what should be a thicker door while you wait an extra 20-30 minutes to see the nurse and another 20 minutes to see the person with whom you actually made the appointment. Every doctor's office I have been to is the exact same, down to the fake walnut cabinets full of swabs and latex gloves. The minute I sit in an examination room (I decided to not abbreviate to appease Shelly), I can feel my blood pressure soar. I always feel better psychosomatically to give myself a rationale to escape the poking and prodding that is sure to come.
Today I visited the doctor because I am experiencing foot pain. I have had problems walking for a couple of days now. It is more than likely tendonitis, but could be due to the fact that they found an extra bone in my foot. Who knows? The good news is that it is unlikely a stress fracture which would have prevented me from running my race in January. Nevertheless, my feet are still cold from my visit and my blood pressure is still not back to normal. I got prescriptions for pills and creams and have to ice my foot 3 times a day. Hopefully that will help.
A little TLC is in order, so Jeremy and I are going on a voting date. I figure I will still be on edge until they announce the new president. Go America!

dear Meat-Bert, Do you go see a podiatrist ?
I am very excited about my new book Why You Really Hurt: It All Starts In The Foot. It will not be published for another 6 months but you can pre order it on Amazon.com
I am a foot specialist of Panama City, Florida The book is the story of how one bone in your foot could be the real reason for pains thru out your whole body. This book is important because it offer the public new information about why millions of people suffer everyday with aches and pains, and offers new hope to get rid of problems they believed they would have to live with forever. It literally can be the “medical missing link”
In the 1920’s and 1930”s Dr. Dudley J. Morton of Yale Medical University and Columbia Medical School wrote that a problem with the 1st metatarsal bone, known as a Morton’s Toe could be the reason for most foot problems. Dr. Janet Travel, White House physician to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, and Professor Emeritus of Medicine at George Washington University took this concept further by writing and teaching that the Morton’s Toe could cause pain all over your body. She wrote and taught for four decades that a “Morton’s Toe could cause, back, hip, knee, leg foot and ankles problems. This book will show how it can also cause fibromyalgia, sleep disturbances, and TMJ. The good news is that all of these problems can be treated with a simple pad that costs about two to three dollars. www.footcare4u.com
