MRI results are in. What I expected is the case. My sesamoiditis looks just as bad as ever, despite the 2 months off. The doctor agreed that my hypothesis might be correct, that the cortisone shot is masking the pain, which is referring to the arch of my foot. They had their best radiologist look at my MRI, and they found nothing else wrong at all with my foot. They pored carefully over it for quite a while as a team, and were collectively mystified at the location of my pain, given what they see on the images. In any case, the diagnosis is unchanged from 4 months ago. Sesamoiditis. My doctor is a sports medicine doc and not a foot doc, so she now recommends that I go to see a foot and ankle specialist (who, incidentally, I saw in 2001 for a badly broken ankle from snowboarding).
The soonest he can see me is February 25th. Gotta love that. I have a race entry for the Canyonlands 1/2 Marathon on March 20th. Guess I'm not doing it. Or maybe I will anyway. Whatever.
I'm pretty upset and not taking this too well at the moment, so I think I'll stop now.

:( I'm sorry Tammy, that really sucks.
Sorry to hear it Tammy. But this too shall pass and you'll be out there terrorizing your opponents the the walks again.
