It sounds like you are doing all the right things! I am so proud of you for wearing your tennis shoes, even when you get up at night. I thought I was the only one who did that! But I have wood floors/ceramic tile (no carpet) in my house, so I have to----or I really pay for it later.

And I was going to suggest that you get some New Balance shoes, but I didn't want to tell you what to do. That is the brand of shoe that my podiatrist, orthopedic surgeon, and foot specialist have all told me to wear. I have the NB 926. No, I'm not in fashion, but I have to wear them EVERYWHERE, or I can't walk without limping.

During the winter, when I was wearing black pants almost everyday, I had the New Balance store order my shoes in black. That way, I could wear them to Christmas parties/social events/church at night----and no one even noticed. (It doesn't look too cool when you have on black pants and white tennis shoes!)

Best of luck to you! I taught school for awhile, so I know it's hard for you to sit. But rest as much as you can....and use that frozen bag of peas! (The little girls next door think that is hilarious!)
