Oh, my knee!

Last Wednesday, I went to my podiatrist, since  I felt that my orthotics weren't fitting as well as they had been. He looked them over, took new x-rays of my feet, and made me little cork inserts to go under the heels of my orthotics. (They are less than 1/4 inch thick in the back.) He also tells me that I have arthritis in the tops of my feet, which, combined with my information that I now have diagnosed arthritis in my hands, made him a bit worried. OK, I'm seeing my doctor/brother in a couple of weeks, I'll bring it up with him then. I walk out with the inserts in and thing nothing more of them. By the end of Thursday (loading in for IkkiCon, lots of heavy boxes to move), my right knee was starting to be unhappy with me.

I did make it to the farmers market today and got more Wonderful Bacon, some local olive oil, still more pecans, and some green garlic and carrots to make soup with tomorrow. I had a good afternoon with my friend L. We are now trying to find a gym that we can both get to easily that we can afford so we can work out together! I took down my Christmas lights and took out a lot of trash and cleaned the porch. Now I need to put up all my foreign coinage I've accumulated for jewelry. Y'all stay warm now!
