Hi Nancy,

 RH> Possible cause (he spent 26 years in) but why would it be showing up 4
 RH> years later? It's anybody's guess as to what caused it but it appears
 RH> to be easing off somewhat now.

 NB> Good that it's simmering down... As to why it might take time to show
 NB> up, I've had that happen more than once... the damage gets done
 NB> earlier, and then other factors, such as aging, other stressors, etc,
 NB> help it
 NB> show up later... Being in the back brace might have changed his
 NB> balance just enough for the plantar fascitis to be triggered...

Could be, especially since the doctor told him that walking was the best
initial therapy. He put on a lot of miles before the feet started acting
up. He's doing some more now but not to the extent he was before the
feet started hurting.

 RH> I've got to find one that uses the bechamel sauce now, to make and
 RH> compare. We sliced, dusted with flour, and fried an eggplant as part
 RH> of supper tonight.

 NB> Simpler than moussaka... ;)

Yes, and tonight we just grilled a couple of Japanese eggplants. Slit
them in a few places, then grilled & peeled. Drizzled with a soy sauce,
olive oil and fresh lemon juice (1:1:2 ratio) mix--good.


 NB>  NB>> Did they use the glucose saline for the IV liquid?  That would
 NB>  NB>> have helped to keep the BG somewhat steady despite the
 NB> fasting...

 RH> I don't know what was in the IV bag, but they knew I'm diet controlled
 RH> diabetic. We didn't know, until it was brought, that a meal had been
 RH> ordered. It did save us stopping on the way home to get something;

 NB> Could have had both... would have made sense that they were trying to
 NB> help keep the diabetes issues under control... but never guaranteed...
 NB> :)

And things went well. Last year I was still on insulin, only 3 months
out from the initial diabetes diagnosis so it was still on the learning
curve. I did a lot better this year. (G)


 RH> after my wrist surgery last year we did that. It was nicer that we were
 RH> able to just go home so I could relax in my own comfort zone faster
 RH> this way.

 NB> That's a good thing, too.  Get home sooner, and back into bed or your
 NB> favorite comfy chair...  :)

In this case, corner of the love seat where my net book (and other
books) are an easy reach during the day. I was in bed by about 10, after
getting home shortly before 8.
