So, I went to the podiatrist yesterday. My achilles tendon is much better. Thank goodness. But, I stubbed the big toe on my left foot on Monday morning, cracking the toe nail down the inside and, when he looked at the x-rays, he thinks I chipped the bone on the inside edge. What hurts is the outside edge. Crazy, huh!
Before he took the x-ray, he did this thing with a tuning fork, going all the joints of my toes. No problem, no problem, no problem, no problem . . . holy crap! A tuning fork. I kid you not. I felt it in my teeth. He laughed. Besides digging out the broken nail, he really couldn't and can't do anything for the chipped bone. Eventually, we will do something.
But, this is the kicker. He wants me to lay off riding my bike for two weeks. For one thing, he really thinks that is what caused the achilles problem and secondly, the biking puts too much pressure on the toe joints. Sigh. I can still walk but I really like riding my bike and my other doctor wants me to increase my exercise to an hour a day. It never ends.

On the knitting front, I did finish the square for the Grindstone Guild's afghan and if blogger ever allows me to, I will post a pic.
I have also finished more cloths. I am enjoying them. Again, someday, I will have pics to show.
