Stylin’ Shoes…Sorta
Submitted by My Garden Spot Blog
I don’t think I’ve mentioned it, but our regular MD has retired. So, ‘Pup and I are out and about looking for new doctors. One of the new doctors is a podiatrist. (Good Doctor! ) The podiatrist resolved a problem ‘Pup had needed addressing for a while, and while we were there, I made an appointment because of a sore heel. I thought it was something caused by all the hubbub and activity on the Friday before Ike hit.
Turns out, I have a heel spur. Ouch. Really. Ouch. I’ve gotten some physical therapy, but it didn’t do much for a long term solution. I wear a boot to bed to stretch the tendon, and now both ‘Pup and I are getting some special shoes. They’re not exactly “stylin’”, but like these MBT shoes, they promise to give some support where it’s needed and hopefully it will make it easier to walk without pain.
My issues with the nerves running to my legs is a different issue, but any improvement in other areas, should help with that one. I’m tired of not being able to get myself from one place to another. I wasn’t able to walk nearly as far as I’d have liked to walk while in Chicago. When I go back, that is going to be different. Somehow….
