Apples and Oranges

By Anitsirk

I had two appointments today; first one to the physiotherapist and the second one a massage.
My feet are starting to be troublesome again... I feel more pain when I've reached 10 000 steps and beyond, despite my good work shoes, and I have trouble walking after work, because of pain. He examined my feet thoroughly and I got advice on how to continue. He asked me if I take pain meds for the feet and I just stared at him... that didn't even cross my mind! Now I need to take a 7 day pain med treatment to see if the pain can be stopped, and I've also ordered some new padded thingies for the front of my shoes. Hopefully this will help. I also told him that in mid September I'll stop working at the greenhouse, so my feet will have a better chance to recover. Then we talked about my sword practice (and he was curious about the sword of course... :D ) and the problems I have, and other problems I have. He booked me in for a new appointment a few weeks from now. 
Then I had an hour until my next appointment, so I took a walk and this photo is taken from one of the many bridges crossing our stream.
The massage was wonderful and painful... and I had a good talk with the massage therapist too. My lower back is better than it's ever been and I'm surprised she could massage so low on the back without me yelping with pain. I also have breathing exercises to do and I got some tips about how to strengthen my mobility. 
Then home, lunch and after that I was so tired I crashed on the sofa for a couple of hours.
