I did another 6 miles Saturday morning, mostly to work off my anxiety for the surprise party being thrown that evening….but, hey, at least it motivated me to get outside and walk in this unforgiveable August Florida heat!

So, I had this “thing” on the bottom of my heel..small bump, wart sized but hurt like a splinter was in it, but there was no splinter…..and it was starting to bother me when I walk. So, rather than take the easy option of ignorning it and have all kinds of problems at the actual walk,  I scheduled an appt with my dermatologist. Wasn’t sure if it was a “skin” thing, or a “foot” thing, but I have a regular dermatoligist so I figured I’d let him look at it and go from there. After much digging with the scalpel (tasty!)..it seems I have an inverted calous. It has grown into the skin rather than above, and it grows like an upside down pyramid, and the point was hitting a nerve. So, he scraped some skin off of it, and I have to wear those little Dr Scholl’s corn pads (with the hole in the middle) to keep the pressure off of it, and he said it would work it’s way topside and go away.
