Yep, our youngest son, a lifelong avid runner is sidelined with heel spurs and currently getting treatment, but I think his running days are over.

You know Clackers, I have always been very active, though not in a forma way. Just my daily work routine kept me in very good shape. On my first ankle break in '92 they wanted to remove my right foot the night I went to the ER......said it was not salvageable. The most recent left break was almost as bad...they just said I may never walk on it.
So here I am very limited in my activities, and conscious of every step I take...and plenty damn thankful I can even take a step!
Be careful out there...it is a dangerous world, even if you aren't a "Rupert Type".
Regards!
