Update on my foot:

For the past week, , I am sitting in my office or library, sifting through books and papers, and taking time out for some Arizona Green Tea, nice and cold, from my refrigerator. My green thumb is complaining because the weeding has been put on hold for now. I feel guilty knowing the weeds are rejoicing in my absence. My daughter, Ilsa, told me she thinks I am having the withdrawals since I can’t go out to work in the gardens this week.

I’ve been taking a medication prescribed by my foot doctor. The redness and swelling is coming down. I cannot walk on this foot unless I have on the special podiatric sandal the doctor put on me a week ago. This, of course, has altered my days quite a lot since I cannot walk outside much at all.

Feet! We just can’t function well when our feet begin to hurt.

This led me to do some research in my favorite book_…
