I am *NOT* gonna start riding around in an electric cart. I can walk about a half-mile before it starts to get very unpleasant, so I can get to/from the poker rooms. But it does impact considerably my ability to do things I like, like not get fat(ter) from lack of real exercise. No racquetball, no paintball, no walking and definitely no jogging for 2 years...I've become a blimp.

And the podiatrist seemed to recognize that I was a little ticked off with his time heals all heels advice and his parting words were something like "if you go to another doctor, DO NOT let him inject you with cortisone--that's the WORST thing you could possibly do as it will serve as a short-term quick fix but steroids permanently dissolve fatty tissue and that's exactly what's cushioning your heel".
