"You should rest and keep your leg elevated."

[Morticia]

Directions from my Dr today after a minor procedure. She should have told me that when I made the appointment. I never would have gone in on a Friday!

 

[Silverspoon]

Awww, sorry you put in a position between your health and your B+B responsibilities. Maybe your guests will be sensitive to your "hobble" and not demand more than you can deliver!

 

[gillumhouse]

I hope all is well quickly. And may ALL your gusts this weekend be the low-maintenance variety who are empathetic an nice.

 

[Morticia]

I called the terrific kid housekeeper and she's coming in to help. Worst thing is I can't shower. That's like my 'morning coffee'. I go around all day thinking I've forgotten something when I don't get to shower.
I'm not looking forward to the anesthetic wearing off. Where's my wine???

 

[Breakfast Diva]

Glad you were able to call in reinforcement! Keep that leg up and enjoy your forced relaxation.

 

[Morticia]

Anesthesia has totally worn off. Yikes! Luckily, breakfast went quickly and I could sit down again.

 

[Copperhead]

Thank goodness for the extra help. Now do as the Dr ordered.

Best of luck. I have plantar fasciitis and they told me the micro tears wouldn't heal unless I could rest and stay off my feet. Well tell that to an innkeeper in the summer heading into foliage while also building a new house that you and hubby are finishing yourselves. Micro tears aren't getting any better and I ordered a boot from Amazon to sleep with at night because there is no way in hell that I can stay off my feet. Maybe in March or April.

Ouch! I had that this summer, too. The pain! What I have now is skin cancer. Not the severe kind. Had it all removed.
I did find that changing out my shoes helped the pain in my foot go down a lot. No sandals. No thin soles. I had to wear thick soles and socks all summer. I got running socks with really thick cushioning.

I also developed plantar fasciaitis. Horrible pain for a couple of years. I tried a lot of different things including $500 shoe inserts. What changed my life was wearing Dansko clogs! I had several guests who were nurses tell me about Danskos. I've now been pain free for a few years. No flat shoes, no sandals. I was told to not even go into the bathroom from the bedroom without wearing them.
I felt your pain....being an innkeeper is what caused it for me. As we say on here, "innkeeping is not for wimps". Oh boy, howdy!

If it comes back I'll look at Dansko. Thanks!

what I find works for me is Sketchers - (derotated shins, displaced kneecaps and flat feet) plus come in a range of colours so can be a bit smarter than trainers.

Thanks Breakfast Diva - I tried the Dansko a few years back and because of the arch in my foot within 2 weeks I developed a clicking in my knee that then took a few months to go away. So weird because the Dansko are so highly recommended by the company said obviously we are all different - just like as innkeepers. So I went back to good sneakers. But I'm thinking of trying the Vionic shoes as someone else recommended those. What I really need is a couple months off but again, that's not until April!

Hope you are well again, soon, and stay well!

Yes, the clogs put your whole body at a different angle and I noticed the difference in my knees also. Fortunately, no long term impact for me. Thanks for the Vionic recommendations, I might give those a try also. Looks like they are a little more stylish. Fortunately, I haven't had a major flare up in a couple of years, so I can experiment with some style. I hope the overnight foot brace helps!

Sounds like plantar fasciitis must be an occupational hazard of innkeeping. Inserts helped, but giving up mowing the grass helped even more!

I had it this summer too. Gave up flip flops forever.
Did four things and have no more symptoms.
1. the boot at night.
2. iced the heal every chance I got.
3. shoe inserts and soft soled sneakers. (not the very expensive ones, got them at the drug store.)
4. slow stretches every morning and I watch how I rest my feet so that I keep the tendon stretched.

 

[TheBeachHouse]

Difficult to keep your feet up when you need to be on them. Get well soon.

I was already doing the stretches as I pulled something in my back in Feb. That went away but then I had a pain in my thigh. Which apparently moved to my heel by summer. (I know when I did it - running in hiking boots to catch my boat - wham! I felt it right away.)
This has not been the best year ever.
