Saturday
Today was the day…
I went to the podiatrist. But first, I enjoyed a very still overcast morning with stunning clouds at sunrise.
Even though it was so still, no swim today as my appointment was at 9:30am.
The podiatrist gave my feet a full examination and quickly spotted where the issues lay. It just is what it is. He said if I had come to see him 30 years ago, he could have predicted this. These are feet that will have issues as they get older and the left one is only a little ahead of the right. Both need inserts. The casts are made of Plaster of Paris…
Pop slippers…
This is where the problem lies on my left foot – I’m pronating this much…so the inserts will push my foot up to correct my gait.
They take a week to make, so I’ll pick them up next Saturday. I’m hoping they will make the difference I need to walk further than I am now.
For the rest of the day, Mike and I went across to the Blue Route for a few things, visited a couple of nurseries for new pot ideas and came home via the second hand stores in Fish Hoek.
In the afternoon, I read, had a video chat with Stacey and Elsie who were making soup in the kitchen and I had a little snooze. Mike and I watched the last episode of Vanity Fair.
It was a good relaxing day.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
