The shoe thing was supposed to go in the writer's section but it ended up for general consumption. Don't know what I did wrong but I ama bit dense at times.
Maybe others can relate as well here.

Just an idea that came to mind today as my feet were really sore and I didn't even look at the pretty shoes in the sales. (Sorry Sailor, it's a girl thing!)
I am vertically challenged in a sea of giants.
I am getting older and therefore dress more "sensibly".
But I was always able to have beautiful shoes.
Pretty red shoes
Pretty black shoes
Not sensible shoes
Shoes with heels and tiny straps.
Then oxalipalitan.
Neuropathy
Twenty percent have ongoing residual pain and numbness.
Twenty percent can no longer wear pretty shoes.
Expensive sensible shoes to control the ongoing foot pain.
No more pretty straps and heels.
No more bare feet on a hot day.
But the good thing is I am here to feel the discomfort.
Sore feet - better than the alternative.

Hi willow,
I think doing nothing and being responsible for no-one but yourself for a while is wonderful. Even now I just want to stop and not do the washing or make lunches or cook dinner and mark some kid's work. It is not only physically exhausting but emotionally as well I have discovered.
I crave to be able to just be me sometimes and I am much further down the track than you.
Anyway, what's the rule that says you have to be dressed before noon?
Take lots of care,
S

Alana I'm so sorry.
I guess he won't talk about it? It must be so hard on everyone to try to adjust. I have been thinking about you and wondering how it all went. I'm sorry that it wasn't a little better.
Perhaps the 2 good days tell you that good days are possible.
Cyber hugs

Hi Sailor,
I find the same thing in waiting rooms and on this site. When I am feeling low, there is always someone worse off than me.
You've also made me feel guilty that I stayed in bed and read my book instead of the 4kms I promised myself this morning. I also feel bad about the caramel slice with the coffee.(It was only small). Walking tonight it is!!
Lots of hope that it is a blip!!

Hi Ctas,
I just worry(irrationally) about my liver - all I have there is a cyst and I had hepatitus 40 odd years ago. I have no valid reason to be worried.
I also have a family history of bowel cancer but the genetic counsellor didn't thnk that mine was connected to the gene.just unlucky. I need to follow that up next time I see oncologist (March).
I think dogs and cats swear very effectively!
Take it easy and eat chocolate.

Hi Julie,
You know that this is the right place yo have a whinge and shingles is as good a reason as any!
I didn't know that shingles was contagious. Thought it was an off shoot of chicken pox?
Glad you were able to educate the doctor. Well done!!
Hang in there,
