I'm Cured!

The hubby fixed my foot. He was working the ankle because I'd been complaining that not only did it hurt, but that it made a clicking noise and was stiff. He pulled on it just so and voila, sudden popping sound, and now it doesn't hurt anymore. I've walked at least four miles since then, and suffered no more than mild fatigue. Yay!

On another note, it's kind of disturbing to note how many people on my Flist, as well as myself and Toys, have been complaining of bad/scary dreams lately? The superstitious in me begins to wonder about portents, and upcoming bad/scary vibes. The practical in me says it's probably just the upcoming elections and other tension-making items. Either way, smells like something in the air. No wonder we're all dream-state nervous.

Wow! Maybe he's working on the wrong career?

How wonderful to not have that bothering you any more; I know all about the foot-related fun, having a career that keeps me (a not inconsiderable load) on my feet all day. Plantar fasciitis for one, and lingering aftereffects of a spring injury on the other only add to the fun. I keep meaning to make that physiotherapy appointment...

Many happy walks to you now.

(smooch!) Thank you! I'm a walker pretty much everywhere, so being off me feet is next to torture for me. I'm pretty happy about this development.

I know the plantar facistis problem - have it myself. Culprit always seems to be shoes, too - when I get the morning heel pain warning signs, it's time to switch to a different pair. Plus I'm starting to think the calf muscles are related as well, as I've noticed a whole leg cascade effect once the feet start to go off. The whole array starts to suffer.

Ever tried those Dansko clogs, the ones they recommend for nurses and whatnot? I've had great results with those, and also the old-fashioned wood-bottom type clogs. Don't ask me why, but they seem to do more support-wise for my feet than sneakers...

You know, if I think about it, the past week it hasn't been so bad in the mornings, so perhaps it is all just shoe related. I was wearing runners all summer, and have only just recently gone back to my work shoes - two pairs of Ecco black leather lace-ups that I alternate. I've never heard of Dansko, perhaps I just wasn't looking. The Eccos were recommended to me by a waitress at Denny's - I figured I'd ask an expert.

The runners are starting to wear through at the back - because after a while they stop being new adn you don't worry so much if you shove them on without untying. So maybe a new pair of weekend runners will do the trick.

Thank you for making me think about it. This may actually work. Now if only I make it through to payday...

Eccos are darn good too - Toys wears them. But odds are good just getting a new part of running shoes will make a difference - I don't know why it's taken me so long to realize that shoes really do wear out, especially if you're on your feet a lot, and sneakers actually wear out pretty fast. I don't count anymore on the inside arches of a pair of sneaks lasting anything more than a year.

I think the karma of having a husband who fixes your gammy leg like that definitely outweighs the spooky dream karma.

Spooky dreams? Ive had no spooky dreams. I did have a dream where I was out of the cast...but I was cheerleading. I don't that the dream should be classified as 'spooky'. Weird, cracked out, or disturbing....but not spooky.

Well, that's good to know at least.

So when's it cool for us to come see you and stuff?
