Another round of foot issues for Tim

This was taken 2 years ago… he looks just as thrilled to wear it again this time around. 😉

If you recall, about 2 years ago Tim had a run in with Gout in his big toe.  He had to wear the boot and hobbled around for quite a few weeks.  It did eventually subside and we stored the boot away (just in case).

Well, he had another flare up this past month.  It was a relatively short bout this time, but in the process of trying to stay off of his toes when walking he managed to sprain/bruise the outside edge of his foot.  It’s been quite painful and by evening he pretty much can’t walk at all.   He told me this morning that the pain has moved from the edge of his foot up to his ankle now (due to walking weird I suppose!).  Of course, the silver lining in this is that his toe is feeling pretty much all better.  Now if only his ankle would heal he’d be back to normal!
