Had my first appointment with the Podiatrist on Friday. Hip, hip aray!!

Well the good news is - it's curable. This was the initial assessment so I've been given instructions on some foot exercises before I get out of bed in the mornings, failing terrible so far, keep forgetting to do them before steping out of bed. I was also given leaflets on stretching exercises along with foot care for diabetics.

The condition was explained to me in detail, I disclosed that I would be going into hospital for surgery so they have suggested I come back in 6 weeks time. That's cool with me. (9 days and counting).

I've been wearing very flat foot wear, I've been advised to purchase specific type of trainers. I don't really want to spend that amount of dosh when It's possible I might go down in shoe size, waste of cash I can't afford, especially now.

My husband thinks that they may be closing down the site where he works which would mean redundancy for - bad, bad, bad news.

If my health improves that means I'll have to go out and get a part time job. I don't mind as long as my BP and Diabetese has improved.

Flooring finally going down in the extention. WoW, one whole year.

A friend of mine lost her mother last week, the funeral was Friday. I couldn't make it - but I was able to get to the house in the evening, I feel a little better for that.
