You know, I don't know

Before yesterday, I had three laser treatments on my left heel. My chiropractors explained that the effects are cumulative, not instant, so each day I expected that twinge to lessen a bit. 

Imagine my thrill when I woke up this morning and my heel felt just fine. No pain at all!

Then I remembered: I'm full of codeine. Yesterday I had a double crown lengthening. I've had this procedure before, but never two teeth at once. I don't want to know how much pain I'd be in without the medication. I'm no hero.

I'm going to try to get in Tuesday afternoon for one last laser zap before my chiropractor goes to Europe (la-de-dah!) and I'm off to the TCM Classic Film Festival. (I'll really need my feet as I race from theater to theater!) Hopefully by then I'll have the opioids out of my system. Gotta remember in the meantime to ice my heel, even though it doesn't hurt just now.

Because the truth is: I have no idea if my heel is improving. None whatsoever.

  1. Can't wait to hear about your adventures at the film festival! That sounds like so much fun. I think Charly and I will go to that one day when I retire. I hope your heel is healing. See you again soon!

  2. Here's hoping the heel treatment is doing the trick! I can't wait to vicariously experience the Movie Extravaganza!

  3. My chiropractor doesn't offer laser treatments, just ultrasound. I hope this has helped you so you can get around well and enjoy yourself w/o pain during your holiday!
