updates on the gimp and the hell that was swimming in public.

So family night was swimming at the PUBLIC pool here in town. family night for a buck the whole family gets to swim for 2 hours. fun in theory. until i have to get ready to go. DREAD!
i hate swimming in public. my new swimsuit was OK, i hate wearing a bathing suit in the first place nothing like a swim suit to remind you you have body image issues. Yeah it was that rad. on the upside, i wasn't the fattest person there. thank goodness for that. and those people either are Ok with themselves, Or have learned to embrace it,or have no clue how fat and ugly they are. i need to get more of that kind of attitude about it. OR stop wearing a swim suit ever! just not own one. never go. like my mom did. I'm to that point. FHE at the pool, the kids had a most spectacular time until the end when they started talking back and it was time to leave, not following directions and arguing tells me it's time to go home. i was OVER IT!

we hit taco bell on the way home, ate and dropped off Lance at Urgent Care. went home, and changed everyone into Pj's and hung out until Lance called for a ride. he can't drive. by the way. it hurts too much. So that is awesome.

we picked him up and he has a fancy rocker boot to wear which takes the pressure out of walking without moving his ankle. guess what is wrong? do you give up? he has some bone growths growing on the top of his foot, that must have been cutting up the ligaments or tendons. he has heel spurs too, and some other random bone growths in his foot, and some arthritis. and apparently there is some scar tissue, which explains why the pain happens, gets better and goes away until he does too much, the bone growth is cutting up the soft tissues, causing pain and scar tissue. it's rad. he has to see a specialist but this time he actually wants to go. WHOOHOO ON THAT! since he generally is a non dr. visitor. sad thing is the heel spurs have been around since 2001. he's just been ignoring them. nice huh? so do you think i'm fully sympathetic? not really. since 1. he didn't take care of the pain the first 10 times he had it. 2. he went and played raquet ball . potential injury sports, get no sympathy when something happens. 3. he played in his sandals.geniius? only in the computer nerd sense, in real life sports use? not so genius after all! the rocker boot helps -"it feels so much better already" . rad. worth it.
