Good to see you here Tabby Cat and Hamza - let's all enjoy Saturday this week
And Hi Eth - I had to look up Morton Neuroma - that sounds painful - we have to have our weight on our feet whenever we stand up or walk - I can imagine waiting at the airport for your luggage is an effort and we can wait and wait and wait there
And orthoticis do cost a lot but are worth it - orthotics are part of my history - I had toes that were badly aligned and it took years but gradually the bones fused and now they don't hurt - orthotics helped a lot -
And like you I am putting off having any surgery. Mine would be in the spine - not happening right now - I am past the age of thinking it useful - it also scares me - it's not just the operation - it's getting over it - somehow I can't imagine myself being patient at all.
I knew my spinal pain was increasing but blamed the cold weather and my self-induced reduction in medication - the MRI proved it to be caused through progression
I have to used the internet to fill in some spaces in my anatomy-awareness - gained when I did a formal course in it a long time ago - yes - that was a long time ago - and some of the terminolgy needs brushing up - but I understand enough to know this isn't fun
But I will be okay - I am not an infernal optimist - rather I tend to cope by being pessimistic - not too much so - just aiming to get the best out of the half-empty glass.
Being optimistic would be too hard and to risky - that's why I use the adjective "infernal" -
Dec - feeling positive about life though
