Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
In case I've missed somebody, wishing everybody good healthy days ahead. 💗
I never had the steroid injections before. The podiatrist did not offer me the treatment. His inserts are not working too good that I purchased at his office for $50. Loose and slip forward. The ice bottle and exercises work better so far. I might consider injections if my foot continues to hurt. Thank you.
Hope you feel better soon. Prayers and hugs sent to you.
It is sad to lose a doctor that we appreciate. You will miss him but I am sure that you and your mom wish him a very happy retirement.
My youngest daughter had problems with bunions as a teenager. I didn’t know anything about those and was surprised that she had them. I used to think bunions were a condition that only old people got, because my great aunts had them.
My daughter had to wear certain shoes. When I did PT after my accident, I saw a young woman in her twenties that had bunions. She said that she loved wearing high heels and going out dancing. She was upset that her bunions were interfering with her social life! Hahaha 🤣
Oh my gosh, I wore high heels as a younger person, but the shoes that the young women are wearing today are ridiculous! I am afraid that I would kill myself if I tried to walk in some of those shoes. It’s funny, I loved stylish shoes when I was younger, I still like pretty shoes, but these days I am all about comfort. If our feet hurt, it is miserable.
Some people never wish to give up style no matter how much it hurts or even if they are off balance. There was a woman that attended my church who had to be in her 80’s. She was always dressed very well, including her high heel shoes. Her husband always wore a suit. When she would walk up to receive communion, she held her husband’s arm to keep from falling down!
After her husband died, I hadn’t seen her in Mass. I ran into her in the grocery store though. She was wearing sweatpants and tennis shoes! LOL
Sorry about your friend getting Covid, in spite of already being vaccinated. As you know. the same happened to my daughter. Her entire office was vaccinated and there were breakthrough infections of Covid. She was fully vaccinated and still ran a temp, body aches, lost her taste and smell and had respiratory issues. She’s doing better now, but is still run down. My daughter has always had a lot of energy and now is drained after doing a few simple chores around her apartment.
I have cousins that are against the vaccine. I think that they were in denial about the possibility of getting Covid. Their eight year old daughter came home with Covid. Then their 12 year old got it, along with their mom and dad. They didn’t wear masks, went out everywhere, restaurants, church and so on. Sadly, their luck ran out. They were totally delusional about how Covid is spread and caught. I seriously doubt that they are skeptical about it now. What a tough way to learn a lesson!
So sorry for your friends. Prayers for them.
Still need second moderna, thought I would do it today, finding I am nervous if I have a reaction, then I will be really wiped out!
If you are open to alternative therapies then a little bit of reiki or reflexology might be beneficial.
Place a pillow under each arm, from shoulder to hands, as you lay on your back.
Do your arm exercises when and as prescribed.
Soon, you will be feeling better.
If you need to skip a Covid-19 vaccine, can you catch up later with a booster? Ask your doctor if that is a good idea?
