bone spur

here is a foot with a genuine bone spur.

the owner of the foot has lived with the spur

for more than fifty years, managing

to play tennis, football, the other football, capture the flag, and king of the mountain;

managing to finish three marathons, six half-marathons, and dozens of 10K footraces;

managing to climb piestewa peak’s summit trail at least ten times and its circumferential trail at least four times; managed to climb atop camelback mountain at least three times; has taken the peralta trailhead to a good view of the weaver’s needle in the superstition mountains at least twice, once carrying a toddler on his back;

has managed the bone-spur pain and sensitivity mostly without medication;

has managed not to talk about it at any length till now, when its relevance trends every now and then.

the owner of this bone-spurred foot

avers that a bone spur need not be an impediment for ANY sort of activity

though that activity may be accompanied by the occasional yelp.

this has been a public service announcement

and an excuse to brag.
