Recuperating…

[osodecanela]

Well, when I posted last night saying my ankles were not happy, was I ever right. They are not happy with me & they are letting me know it today. I got up to take a leak a couple of minutes past seven this morning, & the moment My feet hit the floor my left ankle said, “are you really sure you have to pee?”

I’ve gotten my running shoes on, the ones that have been made specifically for flat feet, I’m a bit less miserable, though that’s also post antiinflamatory, plus Tylenol. I’ll be taking it easy today. B’fast dishes done and watering the potted beds. And now it’s sit and get some sedentary stuff finished while my ankles pout a while longer.

I'm sorry to hear about your ankles (and the closet). Hopefully you'll be back to normal quickly.

I am concerned about your ankles. While the shoes may be providing support, if your ankles starting to hurt medially, that's usually from hyperpronation, and you may want to ask for a referral to an orthotist for a hard plaster insert. Looks like this is happening over 1-2 days. If it continues to interfere with activity and comfort - good orthotics can delay degeneration of surrounding joints and even prevent the need for orthopedic surgery.
