For the past few months I've been hobbling around while working 12 hours almost every day on cement with pain in my right heel. I finally got an appointment yesterday to get it looked at and I have a heel spur. I figured that was it because five years ago I had the same pain in my left foot. The doc examined me and said he was going to inject something in the inflamed area and whipped out a little tiny needle and said there is going to be a little prick. Wham, straight into the side of my heel and it was a good thing he had a good grip on my foot at the time. After that he had to move it around and around until he hit juuuust the right spot. He knew it when he hit it and so did I. That was when the pain went from just hurting to hurting and burning. Now I've got a brace to where for a couple of days and I should be good to go.
This morning I was back at Zirkle wading around in my chest waders and walking on the soft river sands of the Little Satilla that felt so good I didn't even think about my foot.
The yellow flies are bad and I bet PETA would not have liked the way I killed one of them with my hat that was biting my ankles after getting my wading clothes back off. I knocked it to the ground, put my foot on it and did the twist. I already hurt enough around my ankles and don't need a yellow fly to add to it. Made me feel good that at least one of them didn't get away.
This set of trees is some I've enjoyed taking photos of that is near Herrin Lake and now the river is getting low enough I can get to them again.
