Today has been a good day—well, a better day than the last few ones. Walking VERY carefully, I was able to make it to the bus stop to catch a ride to the Lutheran Senior Center for lunch. But when I arrived, I discovered I’d forgotten to sign up.
(You need to sign up at least 2 business days in advance, I could’ve sworn I did last week.)
However, my timing was perfect—Evie had just arrived, discovered she too had forgotten to sign up so off we went to KFC for some much needed fried chicken. We brought our food back to the center, and afterward she gave me a ride to Kuhn’s Market for some much needed groceries.
Evie if you’re reading this.. thank you again. I love you dearly.
When I got home, some welcome relief was in the mail. The gout (or even fungal infection) I thought I had a couple weeks ago… it’s neither. My PCP say it’s most likely plantar fasciitis, and based on the symptoms (burning calves & soles, painful to walk in your bare feet) he recommended a couple items which I just got in the mail today, pictured above.
A pair of nubby foot rollers and some very excellent plantar cream. It’s hot, but soothing stuff.
This whole ordeal has been too strange, I just wish I had a timeline of when this will end. A lot of folks at the center (Evie included) have had this, and say that one day you wake up and it’s just gone. I certainly hope so, my PCP said it could take a few months.
It’s in both feet, but definitely more in the right one. And on that note… here’s my 9 1/2 double-wide right foot. Thanks for reading.
