First of all, I have had such painful feet lately that at times I have had trouble walking. My rheumatologist said there are no arthritic changes, so I should see a podiatrist. Naturally, a person with flat feet and previously broken metatarsal bones and crushed right arch bones has a podiatrist. I hadn't seen him lately (since he removed the claw from my right little toe--I told you I already have a podiatrist) so I made an appointment. I sat down in the examination room and saw this picture on the wall--it was a little creepy because it illustrated EXACTLY where and how my feet hurt:
Well, it's called a Morton's Neuroma. I don't know who Morton was, but I don't like his neuromas, much. The "cure" is I have to wear good quality, well-fitting shoes (bummer); I have to wear inserts in my shoes to support the flatness; I must take anti-inflammatories. Since my rheumatologist just put me on Celebrex, that was already covered. Well see if this helps.
Next, today I will have cataract-removal surgery on my left eye. Not such an earth-shaking procedure, but it's my eyes, people. Innately scary. Left Eye- pre-surgery.
Lastly, and this one is really fun to me, Karie sent me a picture a few days ago saying that she thought this picture looks like me.
Of course, I loved the picture, and thought the bangs haircut is darling. Later I glanced at my PC and the picture flashed up on my screensaver photo album that I keep running and the first thing I thought was -- I think this looks like Daisy! I have always thought that Daisy looked like some of my baby pictures, and this is just remarkable, I think, considering that Daisy's grandfather and Avery's great grandmother are the common ancestors (Yes, Bob, we're ancestors!)
It's very dry here, windy and the state of Oklahoma is on fire every day somewhere. We had 0.03" of rain in March and usually get around 3". No rain in the near future--we really need rain out here.
So, that's what I have on my mind today. Hope yours is a good one.
Ouch! That picture does look painful! Hope you get some relief soon!
ReplyDeleteI do see some resemblances, they are both totally darling! I decided I do love the bangs on little girls. You should put up a baby picture of yourself. I think I've only seen one of you as an older child with Bob.
Mom - you will feel amazing in your new good quality - not cheap shoes! In the past 2 or so years I have discovered that if my shoes arent good - my knee flares up and my feet hurt at the end of a long day of standing on them. Get yourself a small variety of good quality shoes and you will just feel better all over! I love my Naturalizer shoes for that "work" attire - and my Nike tennies for school, lab work, and recreation!
ReplyDeleteThe babies do look a lot like you! Like Cami said, you should post a pic of you next to the babies so we can all compare!
Sounds like somebody gets to go shoe shopping :)
