Isn't that the best prescription ever? Good luck.

Being totally sceptical, I went anyway, and wow! Within 4 weeks the pain was TOTALLY gone, and has not been back in about seven years. (the other plus, was not hearing my partner grouse about all the bruises I was causing by wearing that awful "boot" in bed at night!)Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18360472717239548260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432942332179095008.post-9333068443311012452011-10-25T06:11:25.751-05:002011-10-25T06:11:25.751-05:00Thanks Jonna.

Yes, we will see with CFE. Certainly the previous owners will be responsible for their portion, which is most of the cost.<br /><br />Sara and Ty- thank you! We are looking forward to the improved weather. Sitting here waiting to get a warm shower with the heat turned up to 68 degrees F. It is chilly in Virginia.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954933541900671235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432942332179095008.post-45361966708291735782011-10-25T04:44:37.212-05:002011-10-25T04:44:37.212-05:00Enjoy you're time in Merida....The weather now...Enjoy you're time in Merida....The weather now is soooo much better than July.Sara and Tyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10899039193948235069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432942332179095008.post-38216359560087901122011-10-25T01:53:11.169-05:002011-10-25T01:53:11.169-05:00Another PF sufferer here.

Frankly, that's almost all it took, I'm still limping a bit when I first stand up but after that I'm fine. <br /><br />Good luck with CFE, it's hard to win when fighting with a monopoly especially a govt owned one.Jonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775514857047122526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432942332179095008.post-87998478461905624042011-10-24T15:27:50.383-05:002011-10-24T15:27:50.383-05:00Thanks for the good wishes everyone.

The doc says 50-75% improvement very fast, so that is encouraging. <br /><br />As for the CFE bill, I'm sure Ruben will make sure we have electricity, even if he has to put aside his usual pleasant manner and go strong-arm the utility people!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954933541900671235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432942332179095008.post-3884864689350631092011-10-24T14:39:41.598-05:002011-10-24T14:39:41.598-05:00Here's another vote for stretching.

Turns out they were plantar warts! I've been going to the foot doc every two or three weeks all summer, and a big motivation to do it was knowing how much walking Merida required. And after all, a walkable city is what I wanted. So I darn well better be walking around!Leehttp://www.imaginemerida.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432942332179095008.post-72283191638803876892011-10-24T14:07:54.042-05:002011-10-24T14:07:54.042-05:00I had a severe case of plantar f several years ago...I had a severe case of plantar f several years ago.
