After seeing Dr. Chan, the nice podiatrist, I scurried across town to the x-ray place where I had a pleasant session with what seemed to be a very lonely x-ray technician.  She sent me packing with the pictures of my feet which I was to return to Dr. Chan in a couple of weeks.

Alas, snag!  I’ve been actually Denied clinical orthopedic shoe inserts by my medical insurance company!  I wonder why?  They don’t think heel pain is important?

Snag deux!  Chan put me on Naproxen, an anti-inflammatory, to help with the feet, and boy did it ever help.  Unfortunately it also turned out to be EXACTLY the kind of medicine that wreaks havoc with my poor corroded stomach lining, making my already bad anemia worse.

Exit the Naproxin.  I’ll live with the pain for now.  Hemaglobin is more important.
