10-01-2019 Foot Doctor Time

   Well, I finally got in to see the Podiatrist today, Dr. Demoiny, a very nice guy. The staff and nurses were nice too. He took 3 X-Ray of my foot from different angles. I did this fall on August 8th and just now got in to see him, had another appointment but the referring doctor forgot to tell me he had arranged this appointment. I got a call and had no clue who or what he was or what it was about. I had seen Dr. Yaird and he said nothing could be done, end of the story. Dr. Flanders, however, did set up an appointment but his staff did not call to tell me. Humana sent a P.A. to interview me and she said it was not important and that story ended too.

   Once I found out who he was and what he was seeing me for I rescheduled the appointment, but October was his soonest he could see me. So today we found out why it is still swollen. He said they couldn't do surgery due to where they broke at, but that I needed to wear a special shoe or boot like thing to keep it immobile. He asked if it hurt and I said yes, I can feel my heartbeat in the big toe most days, especially if I walk a lot. I can't do anything for the swelling due to the blood thinners I'm on. I told him for the pain I take a pain pill, but only at night, I don't want to drive with that crap in my system so daytime is off. I have a thing on my IPhone that counts your steps called step up and over the last 7 days I've averaged 2.6 miles each day, some days more and some days less.

   Lately, too I've been thinking about having cows. I can no longer work them, Mark is in the same boat. Both of us have always had cattle or grew up with parents who had cattle. No more than they are bringing it may be time to say enough. Mark doesn't eat his cows but we do, so we will keep a few. My lungs may also have stopped me from raising chickens and Guineas.
