....I had a whole post composed and went away from it by accident ...pushed the wrong button again....grrrrrr!!! So...here we go again!
Went to the foot doc =- and asked him just what exactly were these inserts were supposed to do for me??? He looked at me with pure pity in his eyes - poor old woman! they were supposed to make it more comfortable for me to walk.....I said, I couldn't tell much difference except the arthritis in my right hip seems to have reared it's ugly head again. So he had his girl grind down the arch support in the right insert. Believe it or not it seemed to help a lot. They are still awkward - and my feet still hurt a lot - but I have decided I will live with it. If I have to go back to the foot doc, I think I will find another one,.......I didn't like this one's attitude
Steve came down Saturday afternoon....it is always so great to spend time with him.....don't get to do that often enough. He hung my stereo on the wall, which made room for my sewing machine - which was on the top closet shelf and difficult to get at. He also took down the box with all my sewing supplies and there is room for that down on the floor under the table So...now I just need to get the gumption to go at it.......between all my library books and bejeweled blitz I seem to get involved with those things instead of things I need to do - like sewing and house cleaning.
Dian came over on Sunday and we went to lunch. She all of a sudden had sharp pain in her left foot....got so bad she had to go to the doc the next day and discovered she had a stress fracture in the foot....Now she is sporting a big old black boot which evidently helps support the foot. With the hot weather we have been having, the boot is not comfy at all!
Speaking of weather.....it is here! I tend to stay in with my dandy air conditioner. Fortunately I got Fritz trimmed before it got hot.....he has such a thick undercoat - I hope he is insulated from the heat....In the evenings, we go down to the park and meet other ladies with their dogs and chat. I would surely never been able to do this in the old building!! There is a great breeze coming off the river. Fritz gets along now with most of the other dogs,....but he still has trouble with the big ones - as well as bicycles, skateboards, motor cycles and buses.......Have to keep him on a short leash when walking along the street, needless to say.
Dian and Nigel had a nice surprise when Nigel's sister dropped in on them from England! She is here for a couple weeks.....the whole thing was arranged through grandson Chris...if you ever want to pull a surprise, you can safely confide in Chris, that's for sure.
Tomorrow evening, Susie and her family will be here from New Hampshire.....Monday, they will be going down to Oregon for a wedding....then on to eastern Washing to visit with friends and they'll be back on Wednesday.....We can hardly wait!!
Well, my tummy is rumbling....it's lunch time......see you later.....
