High Arches

ETA: Happy Birthday! keesa_renee

Visited the doctor today, who told me that he couldn't tell me if I had plantar fascitis or a heel spur without an x-ray. Basic idea, no weight bearing aerobics for a while, take loads of ibruprofen (he could have given me a prescription, but I already have the loads of ibuprofen, and it'll do that same job) use ice on foot, wear orthotics to support the arches. Oh, yay.

Anyhow, I stopped and bought a pair of the arch supports for people with super tall feet. Without them, I can't wear most sandals, clogs, and other high-throated shoes because my arches are already too high. With them, I'll be lucky if any of my shoes fit! Silly feet.

I can put up with it for a while, I guess....

Wah! I'm sorry about your feet!

Good that you're taking care of them, though. Somebody I know asked her 94-year-old mother what sort of advice she had, given that she'd lived to 94, and the woman said, "Take care of your teeth and your feet." So go, you.

Did you ever see "Prelude to a Kiss" where the old man, at the end, tells the youngsters to floss...

I have a lot of beef on the hoof, so I have to try to listen to my feet. And I've pretty much given up sodas for the sake of me teeth...wah!

I think I'm reaching middle age!
