You sound like the same situation I'm in! Left heal, the foot Dr. tried everything except for steroids and surgery! My good sweater disappeared in the nursing home after it was in the laundry! So, I guess I'll have to buy another one! I've been in this nursing home since last Wednesday and before that I was in the hospital! I had congestive heart failure and I was full of fluid. I lost about 20 lbs of fluid! I am on a no salt diet! And I can't have too much to drink. I enjoyed reading your post. You'll have to check out my posts on Substack. conniecasellaihave.@substack.com. Thanks, Connie

Oh, you're in the same boat I used to be in before my heart transplant. When I had CHF, I had to avoid salt and hardly drink anything. Now, with a new heart, I still shy away from salt but I enjoy being able to drink a cup of tea whenever I feel like it. And I feel your pain with the heel. I see the podiatrist later today. Hopefully she has some other solution because the steroids only made it worse. I hope your heart and your foot feel better soon. And I will check out your stack!

I deeply sympathize. Hope it passes soon. Sounds like you have a great support team of dogs and husband.

Blue days come and they go, but it can't rain forever.
