Get on the good foot



















Super Bowl MVP and Pro Bowl QB Eli Manning and I finally have something in common. We both have Plantar Fasciitis.

So, given that he is the leader on my favorite team and that I need to emulate him whenever possible, I have decided to follow whatever treatment he does.

So far I have tried:
  • orthotics
  • stretching
  • new shoes
  • cortisone shots
  • acupuncture
all with limited or no success.

I am also exploring the options of shockwave therapy and surgery.

But I will follow whatever course his doctors prescribe for him. No matter that he's a 100-million dollar man, and I am a middle-aged schlub with very little tread left on my tires.

If it's good enough for Eli and the Giants, it's good enough for me. He is officially listed as day-to-day and hopes to play Sunday. Ironically, I am also day-to-day and I hope to go to work tomorrow.

The Godfather of Soul Brother was right: Time to Get on the Good Foot.
