On going to the doctor

I can't tell you how much better I feel after having gone to the doctor. A week ago, I had a "tight feeling in my foot" (an adhesion in the abductor hallicus tendon, apparently), and now it's all better (Graston technique: 5; adhesion: 0). In the other foot, a shard of glass was wedged; I had "forgotten" about it for about six months. Now it's all better. As in gone. No more glass. Woot! Glass: 0 Foot: 95
Mind you, it required a small surgical procedure, but it was totally worth it, plus I feel extremely brave now. (My doctor rocks, by the way. "Tell me when you're ready." Tell me if you need a dermatologist in New York.)

Don't let a busy work schedule or the fear of irritating your bosses stop you from taking care of yourself, which is what I'd become accustomed to doing. Take care of any persistent aches and pains, and your body will thank you! Peace of mind will follow.
