When The Cure Is Worse Than The Disease

About six weeks ago, I'm not quite sure how, I badly bruised the bottom of my heel. It has been deemed a bone bruise and severe bruise to the fat pad between the bone and the sole of my heel. It's an owie, since I have to walk on it. It's being treated by physical therapy and ice treatments, which I am to continue at home as often as possible, 15 minutes at a time.

Except that when I got home Sunday night, I put on the ice, sat down and...dozed off. I'm not sure how long the ice pack was on my heel, but now the sole of my heel has a nice big freezer burn on it. And that REALLY hurts when I walk. I give up.
