I was ambushed with Plantar Faciitis about two months ago. A statistical review of my posts would probably reveal a dropping-off over the first month as the pain increased, dropping to near-zero once it became apparent that I couldn't walk.
I managed to hobble about a bit, started using the bus/subway wherever possible, and became annoyed by well-meaning Australian expats who would ask if they could help me across the road. Nosey beggars!
My Doctor pushed me into a colleague of his, name of Jim Barrato, whose praise enough highly of I cannot sing, and I have been wearing serious shoes for a month now, walking a bit more each day, sort-of hesitantly waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Some of you may have the idea that I walk a lot. I basically walk everywhere I can, and not being able to walk has crippled my otherwise rich life.
I want another twenty years out of this life, and at the prices they charge for these shoes, I'd normally want to get twenty years out of them, too, but right now I can't wait to wear them down to the heel and spend a small fortune on the next pair.
Bob Archell is not only a Gentle Man, but also is too much of a gentleman to post my text to him, I suppose considering it a private email.
Thanks Bob.
Nonetheless I post it below so you can see what I told him, which I'd like you all to know.
Thanks Bob. My activities have been curtailed by Plantar Faciitis, if I got that right. New shoes seem to be doing the trick. This Sunday evening I dine with a chick with long legs - a side benefit of shoes with an extra inch of heel and soles. I should be back in circulation in a week or so.
My regards to all at Eileen's Lounge.
tapped-out awkjardly on tjis smart- phome.
Now, a question for the moderators:-
It is necessary for me to read and respond to all the "New Posts", or can I just slip in, almost quietly, back into the stream?
