You Don’t Look Sick – Living With Rheumatoid Arthritis: ANOTHER SET OF X-RAYS?
Today I got up early to go to the foot doctor again. She checked my foot and then sent me down for x-rays. This is my fourth set of x-rays in a month. It turned out that my right foot was not broken a second time. I must have just messed it up. She says my left ligament is still wobbly.
So the first thing she did was tell me to exchange my boots. The large boot is now on a break on my right foot and the Birkenstock type boot has been retired. I now wear the night cloth on my left foot all day and at night. She said I can put my left foot with the cuff in a pair of sturdy shoes or sneakers with a hard bottom. Well, it just so happens that my new Inka sneakers have a hard bottom. So when I go outside, I can put my left foot in a sneaker. I also put my left foot with the cloth in my Oofas.
It’s only been 10 hours and my right foot already feels better. Being protected in the big boot makes such a difference.
So yesterday I went out and my car battery wouldn’t turn my car on. The battery was not completely empty, but just not strong enough. Today my neighbor came by with a battery starting battery and his trickle battery. After about 20 minutes the car started and I stood outside and let it run for 30 minutes. Luckily a neighbor stopped by to chat with me while I was standing there. I would have sat down, but the trunk doesn’t really fit in the driver’s seat. Now I have to start the car every day this week to charge the battery.
See you tomorrow..
