On the twelfth day of Christmas ...

... my true love gave to me, twelve Christmas presents.  Well they aren't for me, they are for the grandchildren when we see them on Saturday.

I went back to see the consultant today and it was good news that my heel bone was OK, and the walking boot would cause more issues for muscle loss than it would help my foot, but the plantar fascia has a tear and will take about six months to recover.  I have to wear soft  and supportive shoes all of the time, but I can keep swimming, cycling and even do a bit of running.  Six months feels like such a long time though!
