Today I walked to my car in the far parking lot, across a parking lot to get a pedicure here in town, back to my car afterwards and back across the far parking lot to my apartment!
Without any pain!
I cannot tell you how simple life could be if this were always the case. I think it has been over 21 months since I have been able to do that.
It took me a year to get a podiatrist to order new orthotics for me and months for my feet to recover from walking without them.
I don't know if this is the new norm, but I surely hope it is.
Most of my life is spent trying to figure out how to get from my bed or my chair to the bathroom. Everything I do has been a challenge. Vacuuming from a desk chair I scoot along the carpet, washing dishes sitting down and trying to reach over the sink, using a walker to painfully hobble down to dump the trash, everything is harder when you have problems walking.
Today I felt fifty years younger!
