I was told by the podiatrist that if I hadn’t come to see her, my heel injury would have become much worse, and I may have even broken or shattered it. The podiatrist X-rayed my heel, gave me a steroid injection, prescribed medication, and gave me a boot. I was then told I wouldn’t be as fast as I once was when recovered from the injury). Even though he only participated in half the games, he was second on the team in pass breakups with four. All while playing with one foot.
