My sunrise
This is my sunrise! My heavenly slippers. I usually sleep until 7 am and the sun has long risen. But even so, right now not much is more comforting that my cozy slippers. I have been wearing my slippers almost non-stop for the past month because of these painful injections I've been getting in my foot. I've recently had my 3rd sclerosing injection and will need 2 - 3 more. They hurt like hell, make my foot swell and feel as though a hammer has hit it.
The injections are for a morton's neuroma. I've had 4 cortisone injections with minimal relief and am trying these sclerosing injections which are basically an alcohol mixture injected (with a really huge need) directly into the nerve. The procedure hurts horribly, then for days to come my whole foot hurts and finally when it starts to feel better it's time for another shot. The goal is to kill the nerve which will reduce the neuroma and pain. If this doesn't work I will need surgery which I really don't want.
So right now, the slippers are my sunrise, the comfort in my day. Well, that and a cup of coffee in my favorite mug. In the morning it's coffee, it's evening it's tazo sweet orange tea. My kids gave me this mug about 5 years ago for my birthday and it's my favorite. This mug is my sunrise AND sunset!!

I recently found Beth's blog. It's really great and her You Capture challenge is fun. It will inspire me to take more photos (which I love doing), blog more and be more creative. Hopefully it will for you as well. Check our http://www.ishouldbefoldinglaundry.com/2009/11/you-capture-sunrisesunset.html for more!
