Up fairly early as its washday. While Kev did that I set too and scrubbed the bathroom.
Kev nipped to Heron, and I set too on some cards. I need to do my dyalog too, and next months calendar page, so I've got to pull my finger out.
I was worried about a couple of people today, my sister Sue who was going to the hospital to see a specialist, and a work friend who has been in a considerable amount of pain with her back recently.
Both seem to be making some progress in finding what's wrong with them, but for both, it won't be an easy fix with some unpleasant procedures to undergo.
And me? I did some more digging into my condition today, as I noticed that my left foot is turning more inward
when I walk any distance. I think I'm going to have to have a chat at the surgery the next time I'm there for my diabetes checks see if I can at least get one of the doctors to take a look. From what I can gather, the operation they did on me as a child doesn't last and eventually the replaced muscles eventually regress making it harder and more painful for me to walk. These days they can do more without surgery, and I need to ask if that can be something I can perhaps be considered for. I've not done bad if you look at it, the corrective surgery was back when I was 7, with a few tweaks here and there over the years so it's lasted 53 years. If they can do something to halt the regression of the muscles by non invasive methods, surely its worth a shot. Something to talk to them about at least. I do wear orthotic insoles but sometimes that's not enough.
