LOL!! Thanks for the video! That cracked me up. I wish I had a recording of my squirrels complaining -- they make a completely different sound! I can't figure out how to describe it. They will be grateful for their food today, as we got a ton of snow last night. The only times I have missed feeding my squirrels are when I've had pneumonia and two weeks ago one day when I couldn't walk.

I am a generally cheerful person but I have a weird distate for doctors! (Ironic, as I'm a lawyer and most people really hate US!)  I have had problems similar to yours where I get the wrong treatment (after paying a bunch of money) or no treatment at all. I just don't trust them. Unless they are doing actual tests, they are just making educated guesses. I am so sorry your podiatrist turned out to be a dud! I hate docs so much three different friends had to encourage me to go get my foot and ankle checked out when I couldn't walk two weeks ago. I have really bad ankles and this is the first time in my life anyone even bothered to offer me an ace bandage. (I got an orthopedic boot too.)  My town is too small to have a podiatrist. The nearest one is either 2.5 or 4.25 hours away. I hope you can get your foot straightened out! There's nothing worse than being in pain AND having to shell out money for the wrong thing! I also hope your back gets better!!!!

That is how this started. My back just went out (lower back pain) one evening with no warning. At least I wasn't bed ridden this time but I missed 2 days of work. (I've never been to a doc for it.)  When my back does that, I can pick things up off the floor with my feet. (My ex-hub used to say I have prehensile toes, like a money's tail.)  Well, I picked something up and my foot gave this terrible pop and heat and pain proceeded up my foot and ankle.

Anyway, you feel mucho bettero soon! Wish I could come give you some help. (Or watch cheezy movies on the couch with ya!)  If your back doesn't comply, just squirrel cuss anyone who comes near you!
