It's bone on bone at the Subtalar joint - Wikipedia so fusion is the only option now if "ignore it and hope it goes away" is discarded as the other option. Seemed to me the doctor drew a lot of blood when she drained the bursa sac in that joint. Went all over the place!
Asked if I will still be able to tap my foot and the answer is in the affirmative. I tap my right foot pretty much exclusively. Hey it took a lot of work to learn to tap my foot! <ahem> I'll lose lateral movement in the joint. There are other considerations to be taken up before intervention. Yes, Odin is a great blessing! I look forward to walks with Odin this summer.

"He sounds just like the composing room foreman [complaining]" is a nearly-exact quote from a friend listening to Bob Dylan sing. And I had to agree he is right. Same composing room foreman I spent many a night with at the after-hours lemonade stand. The lemonade stands newspaper people tend to visit after presstime tend to be the sort of places where [angels gather] well something like that. Fun times listening to our server's time in the pokey for some casual indiscretion. This is how I learned about reading shampoo bottles as a pastime. Words artfully arranged can bring comfort. The slot editor, when asked at said lemonade stand what he does, replies: "I make designs on paper".
Oh you meant the foot, not Bob Dylan! LOL LOL

Hang in there, lady.
You working to learn to tap your foot reminded my silly brain of Nathan's joy when he finally tapped his feet together in rhythm with a song in "The Jerk". 
Bite thy tongue!
No, looks more like this:
We used to do that all the time.
Monday in Sitka and it almost feels like Spring. Odd because so much of the rest of the country has had bad weather. As we get older, it takes longer to get the tree up, get decorations up, and plan for Christmas day. Seems like less of an event than when we had kids at home.
Which is fine for Carey and me. If she's ok with it so am I. We're starting to buy stuff we need for the house and calling a gift to ourselves, because we know these things will make our life more comfortable. I'm disturbed watching every channel and commercial emphasize how important buying new gifts for Christmas is important. It would be nice if the kids were taught the meaning of giving on Christmas, not what new X-box or smartphone they hope to get on Christmas. Bah! Humbug!

Good luck with all that. I hope all goes well for you.
Hope we're still on for the New Year's ball Contessa....
Children make Christmas more fun, for sure. My only son is 27, not around much anymore (makes me cherish his visits
), and doesn't want any gifts for Christmas. He's not a humbug, just not materialistic. He got a gift anyway. I spent part of the afternoon waiting for a mechanic to replace both rear wheel bearings, one anti-sway bar, and a leaking valve cover gasket on his car. Hopefully, it was also a learning experience - he should know now what bearings sound like when they're just about to disintegrate. He's about to head out to the southern hemisphere (Columbia & Argentina) for a few months, so I got to help defray expenses, ho, ho, ho. 
Well, either way, actually.
Considering the age most of us have reached, this phrase has more to do with a daily constitutional than it does bass technique.

Extra credit for colonoscopy high occupancy vehicle lane.
I'm not even gonna pretend that I understand that....
.....
My favorite parts of colonoscopy day are the refreshing little napI'm not even gonna pretend that I understand that....
and the monster breakfast afterward.
My 88 year old dad went through prostate cancer treatment years ago. When someone would knock before entering his hospital room, he would call out..."Friend or enema?"
