Road To Recovery: Mile 12

The foot / ankle pain has been a real, well...pain. It's been getting a little better lately. My physical therapist had a few approaches including ultra-sound and very painful massage treatments. The best suggestion he had so far has surprisingly been Epsom salts! I kind of scoffed at it when he mentioned it, but soaking my foot in hot water with a couple of cups of Epsom salts has actually reduced my overall pain. The foot still isn't 100%, but it does seem to be improving somewhat at least. I visited my friend / chiropractor Tarek and he gave me a couple of good stretches / exercises to try, as well as an acupuncture treatment with some electro stimulation mixed in.

I'm definitely limping less, which is my current goal. If everything continues to improve, I think I can actually start to move to my next, and most important goal of all. GETTING BACK ON MY BIKE!!!!!!!
