Medical Matters

Monday morning, I went to the doctor for my annual checkup, having made the appointment many weeks before, but it worked out well because my left heel had been paining me the last few days. The doctor agreed that it was probably a flare-up of the plantar fasciitis I had had years before, and provided me with a couple of sheets of advice on plantar fasciitis, and the exercises one should do to stretch the fascia. They seem to be working; my heel seems much better already.

On the other hand, someone from the doctor's office called this afternoon, telling me that the doctor is concerned that I may be developing anemia, and she wants me to come in for further blood tests.

Once you put yourself in the hands of the medical professionals, there's no end to it.
