That brings back memories. I knew I had broken something in that foot a long time ago when I was jogging. I hit the curb in just the wrong way and now I recognize it was the sesmoid bone(s). I'd totally forgotten the name. With the shoe, he was very wishy washy about the whole thing. Probably because I was so far off from when I first injured it-at least 8 weeks after the MRI and follow up appt at that point. Honestly according to what I've read, it should have been healed or close to it. I had to ask him what to do about it, and he looked at my shoe and was weellll hmmm. We could put you in a shoe but Medicare probably won't cover it. At that i assumed it wasn't really needed. We talked a bit and he said I need a shoe where my foot couldn't flex much. So I said well I'll look at the Medicare-won't-pay-for-it-ortho-sandal. The assistant showed me the sandals and I'm like no way am I going to wear those if I don't have to. My god the foot wouldn't even been covered and here we are in winter. So I got a pair of boots that have a sole exactly the same as the ortho sandal did. By now, I'm realizing I have pain and swelling in the original area which is far up my foot but also in the area I dropped my computer. I called to make an appt yesterday but they had closed early lol. You too have a very bright and peaceful holiday.
