Walking on marbles...

 In my previous post, I asked you to pray about a health concern - foot pain that had been bothering me for quite a long time. Well, today I had my doctor's appointment and I expected to hear that the pain and discomfort were due to more osteophytes on the soles of my feet... but when the doctor examined my foot, she said she thinks it’s a neuroma and not a bone spur. (See images above and below for more of an explanation.)

She’s applying for me to get a hospital appointment with traumatology so that they can examine my foot and decide whether it needs surgery or whether there’s another way of dealing with it. In the meantime, I’ve got a prescription for anti-inflammatories to take when it’s particularly painful. 

Thanks for your ongoing prayers and I guess what I’m praying now is that the hospital appointment will come through pretty quickly and that I won't need to put up with the increasing pain for a long time.
