A chilly 63 degrees has never stopped the hub from fishing. So a few hours after he went out, I drove my gimpy foot to the dock and joined him for a couple of hours.
The crisp air mostly felt good.
I had to do a little first aid after the hub cut his finger on this northern’s tooth. He also caught some nice bass.
I met with the foot doc on Friday. He went over the results of my MRI. There was a lot to report, a lot that is wrong with my foot. The two main issues are bone marrow edema (aka bone bruises) and a frayed tendon.
So I have to wear a brace for four weeks. And then see the doc again. If four weeks in the brace doesn’t do wonders, then he has another trick to try – something about injecting platelet rich plasma into the tendon, or something like that.
I asked him if I’ll be limping for the rest of my life. He said no, “not as long as you’re my patient.”
I’m going to believe him.
I way over-did the walking last weekend. As I sat on the boardwalk in Grand Haven watching all the able-footed people be-bop by, I longed to be one of them again.
Hopefully soon.
How was your weekend?
Light & life 
I hope you are joining those walking landlubbers soon!

My weekend was nice , thank you/ I spent some time on the water myself, or actually in the water as I was snorkeling today and found myself caught in the middle of a school of bright neons, it was quite fun. I’m sorry about your foot, I hope it heals soon. 🙂

Grand Haven is lovely! I used to live in Saginaw, visited. Then had great friends in college who were from there, and a best friend who moved there when she was married. Water, sun, Boardwalk – nice!

Thanks Peggy!
P.S. Forgive me if I’ve asked about Saginaw before. The beauty of age-related memory loss is that old friends become new friends and old stories become new stories. I don’t even mind reruns anymore.

Funny you say that! I commented about Grand Haven and then thought, “Have I told her that already?!” Ahh, blame it on the gray hairs!
