Blessed curse

I have Morton's Neuroma. I suppose some people would consider that a curse - I sure do! It's impossible to walk normally, most of the time. Not a lot of pain - until yesterday.

I've gone through the orthotic therapy. No change. So yesterday I got my first cortisone injection in my foot. That was not the big deal I thought it was going to be - but afterwards, when it all kicked in, I felt like someone slammed my foot in a car door. It was so swollen my toes would not touch the ground, even if I curled them downwards.

So maybe, just for today, having that neuroma - and the resulting pain from the injection - was a potential lifesaver. We had several tornadoes in the area today - one hit close to my place of work, broke some windows from what I've heard. I wasn't there - I couldn't get my shoe on this morning, so I just worked from home so I could keep it propped up for the day.

That made me feel better. So did not being in that building today. Sometimes, a curse can be a blessing.
