Why I hate having no health insurance

[livejournal.com profile] shadowflyer is on crutches, with his foot all swollen and inflamed from plantar fasciitis.

It's least uncomfortable for him when his foot is flexed. When he props it up, it points.

He spoke of wanting to bind his foot into an angle-iron sort of shelving bracket to keep it flexed.

I mentioned seeing a rigid splinty thing at the drugstore, and offered to go get.

It was an air-cast. It was $49.99.

Not exactly in our price range.

I do that specifically to make you twitch. If it didn't give you such a wonderful freakout reaction, I probably wouldn't do it so much - as it is, I only do it when you mention it. :-P
