I post this to calm anyone who is still very worried about my swollen big toe. According to Dr. Google, I have gout, malaria or am 3 months pregnant and retaining fluid. I am treating myself with all the remedies suggested - ginger, sweet cherries and peanut M&Ms (red are the most powerful).
Just to be ready for the worst case which would be the removal of the entire right foot, I have ordered a wooden foot as a replacement from the French Trading Co. of East Jesus, Nebraska. Should be here by next Monday in plenty of time should it be needed.

If it is a pregnancy Janet and I will be godparents.

James we can't rule out the liklihood of all three conditions as you describe, the Interweb knows these things. In the event of the worse-case scenario we think maybe a lead-foot not wooden will keep you moving at the pace at which you've become accustomed.

Kale, eat lots and lots of kale.

Always in our hearts and minds,
