Well, its nice to know that all of these foot problems are not in my head!? ...or are they? I had an MRI last week and the diagnosis is that my "os trigonum" (pronounced OZ-TRY-GO-NUM) has to be removed. Its a tiny little "extra" bone on the back of the foot. Sometimes it becomes detached, which mine must have done last summer sometime. Not everybody has one, so its not a big deal to remove it. So, I'll have to have a minor surgery to remove it, which means I'll be on my way to exercising again soon! Peter said that the 'ol "os trigonum" is the medical code word for "basket case" and then he asked me if the doctor winked at the nurse when he told me the diagnosis. Hmmm...? *Note, this picture is looking down on the foot, so the heel is on the bottom of shot, whereas the toes would be at the top.

wishing you a speedy recovery
Bummer Alison - but at least now you know why it was so hard to run? Here's to a speedy recovery! and I've never heard of that!
I too, have never heard of that. Good luck. Your jewelry was awesome, thank you so much.
How sad Allison! I hope you feel better soon :)
That stinks Al. I hope you can get back on your feet quickly! I know how much you love to run!
I hope your head, I mean heel, recovers quickly. You've got a husband to serve.
Al...good luck! Does this mean you will be on crutches? Or just a cast? Maybe Peter could take you on a little trip where you could jump waves with your cast on! Oh the memories.....Kris
Allison, We are glad they found the problem so you can get fixed up quickly. Who would have guessed you had an "Os Trigonum"?!!
Love, Mom
