Man, I'm trying to make it, but I'm holed up in Chattanooga at a friends rec center. Seems I didn't just bruise my toe getting ready for this trip.... I'm the lucky recipient of gout
I had a slight problem with my toe a year or so ago and attributed it to the cheap sneakers. This time was much worse... I can't get my foot into my boots, so I'm loading up on cherries, cherry juice and soaking my foot. The first three days on the road, I just gritted my teeth and stuffed my foot in the boot and I think that worsened the condition. Did some web surfing and came up with the new diagnosis and treatment, since I'm unemployed and have no health coverage now... At least I have a couple of rain days to wait thru now for my toe to get better.... And it is nice to be stuck in a nice place with friends! Hope this heals in the next day or two, or we won't be able to make it..... DRATS!
later, Tom.
