Subject: RE: BS: Accountability - counting goals 9th month!!
Michelle, see if there is a shoe store there with a certified pedorthic technician. I went to my regular doc and a foot doc, both of who were sure I had a stress fracture, two different times. Both times it was soft tissue damage, no fracture. The foot doc wanted me to wear one of those boots. I tried it and it made it worse. I tried a bunch of different shoes. My friends kept telling me about "Mario, the shoe guy." I went to him a year ago and bought two pair of expensive shoes from him. I have gone back at least 2-3 times per month for FREE adjustments as we work to get them right for wherever I am at at that moment. It is great. The recent damage I've had was my own fault and the shoes being proper are the only reason I have been able to walk at all and am getting better. He *knows* the body alignment, the foot and its bones, ligaments, etc. like no one I've ever been to and he gets constant updated training. Hope that helps.

Susan, any news yet? I hope you get to drive, again, soon!
