Hi guys,
Just as you would think that things might be getting better, I keep getting more news...
I am already going to have surgery on Nov. 7th for IC stuff.
I went to podiatrist (sp) yesterday and he told me that the Richie braces that I am wearing are starting to cause me arthritis in the balls of my feet. It hurts to take pretty much any step and especially to drive. He says there is nothing I can do except if it gets worse, to have surgery which requires a 3 to 6 month recovery. Great...can't afford to be off work that long nor do I look forward to this surgery in the future.
I already have a very deviated septum and also have to schedule that for when I can have a 10 day recover period (which doesn't really happen until summer, but that's when my doc takes time off as well).
Please pray and offer encouragement and/or advice. I am feeling kind of down right now.
Thanks
Stephanie
