Wait a minute. All the doctor told Alan was that he was "extending the muscle". Is this the same thing that you had done?

If you think I'm telling this to Alan, well, forget it. It's practically freaking me out.

All Alan can remember about that part of the conversation was that something about his calf muscle (when Alan places his foot flat on the floor), well this does something to the bony thing and that's why he is getting the foot ulcer.

So the orth said "I'm going to extend a muscle in your calf".

From what you described, this is MAJOR STUFF HAPPENING. All he wanted was the bone shaved.

Somebody clarify if this is what alan is going to have to go through. This tendon bone thing.

good grief.
