Am i in trouble?

I swore into the DEP and have my bootcamp date (july) but i went for a long run a few weeks ago and then was having some foot pain from overuse. My mom freaked me out and was telling me i need to get it fixed so that i wont have problems in bootcamp. In retrospect, I should have just given it time to rest because it felt better within about a week but because my mom freaked me out I went to the podiatrist. I totally forgot to even say something to my recruter (misspelled bc i dont want it taken down) because it was so minor and i thought nothing of it, but the foot doctor treated me for a small plantars wart and then said i probably have a mild case of plantar faciitis. All she did was send me home with some stretches and some shoe inserts. Literally within a few days my foot was fine but then I realized- this is probably going on my records and im scared they are going to pull it up at bootcamp and send me home. What do i do? Do i tell my recruter? Do i just hope the people at bootcamp dont bring it up? I have a follow up appt june 1st and will make sure she writes in the dr notes that everything is fine now.

is bootcamp haunted

I know there are already some posts about this, but I thought I would make a more recent one. Just wanted to hear some stories, if there are any, from bootcamp/ Cape m (censoring so i don’t get taken down). My grandfather says that the town is haunted and has stories about being on watch and seeing people go to the head in sexton hall but when going to check on them that there was no one there. Can be stories from boot or just any experiences in general while being in the fleet. They are always interesting to hear whether or not you believe in ghosts.

I am aware that when in boot and being exhausted makes you a bit delirious (esp when standing watch in the middle of the night) but when i questioned my grandpa if he was just tired, he insisted that he was sure of it and that he knew other people with similar experiences.
