Stupid foot pain

I'm icing my foot before heading upstairs to a one year olds birthday party, which I will stay at for approximately 37 minutes.  I woke up at 6:30 AM to go babysit, went to the gym, the store, got home, showered and have to leave here in a few minutes, come back and make soup for a party and then I'm going out tonight to dinner and a show.  Busy day for me.

My foot is killing me.  On a scale of 1-10 I'd say it's a 6.  I guess that doesn't mean that it's "killing me," but it hurts a lot when I walk.  My friend who I'm seeing tonight is a PT so I will ask her to check it out for me.  I was reading up a little on tendinitis and it says to stop all activities, which I knew, but I can't do that.  It also says that if it's bad enough they'll put you in a boot cast for 6 weeks.  NO way.  I'm still pretty sure that I'm going to need hip surgery at some point, even though the doctor does not recommend it right now.  I've been taking Ibuprofen for almost two months now and the pain did cease a little but yesterday it was back in full force.  It burns all the time, which might be more uncomfortable than having pain.

I hope my foot gets better while I'm away.  I'll be running barefoot on the beach, which I'm not sure will be helpful or more harmful. 

I really need a nap.  The party starts in 1 minute but I'll go up in 10 or so.  I get antsy sitting around so I'll head up soon.  I won't know anyone and don't want to go, but I have to stop in.  I'll come home and take a nap and make soup before I have to go out.  I'm getting picked up in 3 1/2 hours.  That's enough time to get everything done.

I had tendinitis in my foot in college, which is why I think this is the same thing.  Same foot and it feels like the same area.  I don't remember the treatment, other than sticking it in an ice bath, which I HATED!  I think I have to make the alphabet with my foot too.  I'll ask tonight.  I don't want to have to stop doing things.  That would suck, especially since I'd go crazy because it's right about when Charro is leaving.

I guess I should get ready to go upstairs.

I feel fat today, which is great.  I love that feeling.

Tiger Balm isn't a cure but feels good on horrible muscles and a nice rub. Maybe your muscles need a nice stretch also.
