Do people consciously put on their belts in the same direction? When I put on my jeans, I can never remember which direction my belt should go and then half the time when I go to the bathroom, I get confused and want to buckle the belt in the other direction. Unfortunately, I don’t take the belt out when I take my jeans off, so when I put the jeans on the next day, the belt is still backward. No, I don’t fix it. That would require more work.
The buckle has been bothering me more than usual, as I’ve lightened up so much on the running, because of the self-diagnosed plantar fasciitis. Not running makes me bitchy. Seriously bitchy. And belt buckles annoy me. But that’s what happens when you have plantar fasciitis.
Remember when I used Dr. Internet and her assistant Nurse Duchess and decided I had plantar fasciitis? I followed everything Dr. Internet told me about plantar fasciitis, and I rested my foot, rolled it on a ball, iced, etc.
Yesterday I caved. I went to an orthopedist. And I got my official verdict. I have a “textbook case” of… plantar fasciitis. (You weren’t expecting that, were you?) But the good news? I can still run. Dr. With a Medical Degree told me, “The plantar fasciitis will hurt you, but you can’t hurt the plantar fasciitis.” While Dr. Internet was correct on the diagnosis, he was off on the cure; there is no cure. I will be in pain for about six months to a year. But you know what? As long as I can run, I don’t mind hobbling a bit.
But I still won’t fix the belt buckle.
You do realize, as your grandfather used to say “You come by it honestly”. I had plantar fasciitis awhile back. It does eventually get better.
