Foot note

[cjsmith]

This morning I stood on "tiptoe" (ball of the foot) in the shower for fourteen seconds before the pain got bad.

Granted, that's worth maybe five strides barefoot. I don't want to pretend this is bigger than it is. But when I first started quantifying my pain levels this way, two seconds was a good day.

(It's still highly variable. A few days ago it was zero.)

That's great. I think it's certainly reasonable to count progress in small steps (er, no pun intended!). :)

Yes, especially when deciding whether or not to continue with some kind of treatment.
