well it *seemed* like a good idea

So I don't come off looking very good in this one, but I think it's useful information to share so here goes: As a lot of you know, my back/hip has been all shades of messed up recently.  I haven't been able to run since mid March.  I finally figured out the cause of my distress; removal of a plantar wart.  Yep, that's the ugly truth.  That stupid wart showed up when I was maybe 10 yrs old or so.  As far as I clearly remember it has just always been there.  I was like 24 before somebody told me what it was.  So of course, I probably should have had the thing surgically removed, but I tried most of the over-the-counter remedies to no avail.  Last fall I read an article about wacky home remedies that really work, one was duct tape will get rid of warts.  So having invested hundreds of dollars in wart removal aids in the last 15 years, I spent the $3.79 of a roll of hot pink duct tape.  Well no shit, it works!  But what I hadn't counted on is that I changed the structure of the bottom of my foot.  I've been walking around on that damned growth for like 30 years and in just a few weeks I made to go away.  Oh Hell my back and hips HATE me.  It will get better, but for now there a a lot of visits to the chiropractor and acupuncturist in my near future as the rest of me adjusts to the new walking surface.  How ridiculous is that?
