I popped a handful of Motrin, and I've spent the afternoon with and ice bag on my heel and the foot elevated. No sign or bruising or swelling (which is good), but it hurts like a sumbich when I first get up to walk...

I had to cancel our golf game this afternoon...

I could have sworn someone said that Pickelball was better than golf...

Hopefully, I'll be able to play golf when my daughter and son in law arrive tomorrow evening. We have a tee-time at Evans Prairie on Wednesday...

Well, at least I'll be able to take the cart...
OP, sorry for your injury. Quit softball and pickleball because of various injuries occurring more frequently than I liked to deal with them. You might say “aged myself out of play.” Sooner or later it happens to all of us. As you know, one can play and enjoy golf much longer even with the aging process and prior injuries. Unfortunately the fountain of youth has yet to be found!
