I have a shower bench just like that but I don’t trust it to sit on. I only put my feet on it when I’m standing to wash my feet.

But, doggie.

I’m going to need to trust it to keep weight off my foot temporarily.

Well, all I can say is be careful. And let us know how it goes. It just doesn’t seem that sturdy to me.

Tear in plantar fascia. Had plantar fasciitis, got a shot, did a bunch of stretches and then walked a lot more than I should have (all three of which probably contributed to the tear). This goes back to Memorial Day-ish. Podiatrist thought swelling in foot was due to a vein deficiency. Took forever to get appt with vascular doctor around travel schedule. Not vascular-related (which is good). Back to podiatrist. Finally got MRI, which identified the tear.

It's only been 2 days since I got the boot and swelling is already significantly less, so hopeful this isn't more than a month or so of wearing it.

Sorry to hear that. Glad it’s getting better.

I have sinus tarsi syndrome which is made better by a nice pair of custom orthotics.

We are recent empty-nesters, and the kid was given a bunch of kitchen item *I* depend upon. Went to season a steak, no salt/pepper grinders. Found some nice Acai wood ones for about $20.
Went to make rice the same meal, guess what was missing? Zojurushi 10-qt on the way, should be here tomorrow.

While browsing, since there wasn't a decent-sized pan to make an omelet, I found these little Japanese-inspired pans to make the tomago, so I got a set in cast iron. Includes a wooden "spatula" just the width of the pan, and a little serving platform. Seasoning the pan first.

Yes, we have Winston (Blenheim) and Ginger (Ruby), following Patches (tri-color) and Angus (black & tan), who we had from 2005/2006 - 2017/2018.
