New way for me to miss races

I’ve missed attending races for lots of different reasons over my 45 years but never because of a sore foot. Last Friday I woke up with sore joints in my hands (minor) and a sore right foot. I had made a 99.00 prepayment for the big SFG race at Columbus Ohio but just didn’t have the get up and go to finish the transmission in my Duster and brakes on the motorhome. Thank God I didn’t go because Sunday I painfully put shoes on for Church and haven’t been able to wear shoes since. Very red at the base of my big toe stretching across the base of my other toes. Reading up I thought Gout. They squeezed me in Tuesday but had to settle on a Nurse. She ordered blood drawn for Gout and Lyme disease and gave me a prescription for an antibiotic. Didn’t hear back from the doctors office but I get my test results online and both look normal to me. Still can’t walk or sleep from throbbing pain. Missing our two day 5000.00 to win Sniper Race at Keystone this weekend really stinks. Only our Halloween Race left after that and then test n tuned till early November track closing. My son had to loan me his Crocks to walk into the doctors office on Tuesday. The young girls got a good laugh at that.
