OUCH

 Don has been complaining about pain in his heel for several months now. I thought maybe he had plantar fasciitis. I had that once and it was painful, but I recovered and gave up wearing high heelid shoes.

Recently both Don's heels were very painful and he was finally moved to see a doctor. He does have mild fasciitis but the real source of his pain is bursitis. He has shoe inserts, he was given two corisone shots, he was told to take two Aleve twice a day, to stay off his feet as much as possible and ice them. 

I have not noticed that he is particularly good about staying off his feet or using the ice packs I made, but he is definitely using it for and excuse to skip the Valentine's Dance next week.

    I guess, while painful, pain can also be a convenient excuse. Anyway, I wish him well with his foot pain. It can be so hard to deal with and it can take so long to make it better. I speak from experience.

    I do hope his foot pain is alleviated soon. Apparently he's not a fan of dancing? Funny guy.

      No, he won't dance. He says it just makes him feel like Herman Munster because he is so tall.

    ooh those shots in the foot are dreadful. Bad enough to be stuck but then they move the needle around once inside. It was a lot of pain, so my sympathies to Don. If I had to go to a VD Dance I think I hurt myself just not to go. Sorry I'm on team Don on this one 😀

    Aw, too bad about the dance, but I think rest is the cure-all for most pain. I swear by it.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
