But one morning when I was probably 7 years old, I hopped out of bed to get ready for school, and went down like a dead man. One of my feet hurt so bad I couldn't walk. I didn't do a thing to it…it was just fine when I went to bed the night before. When I tried to put any weight on it the foot would simply not hold me up and would hurt like stink.
So Mom did something unheard of. She was pretty sympathetic and worried and took me to the doctor…who promptly sent me for an x-ray. I will post about that some other time but believe me it was a most memorable life changing event in my life!!! After looking at the x-ray he told us that I had flat feet and that was the cause.
And it has happened periodically through my life, not often but when it does its really interruptive and annoying and hurts like stink.
It happened two days ago. I went to bed, no problem, only to almost fall on my face when I got up around four in the morning to use the loo. My left foot hurts like hell and I can hardly walk. Stupid thing. It happened to the other foot in Maui when Cookie was there. It will last about four days then slowly go away. I don't get it. I don't think its flat feet though.
We have been having a blast with the kids though. They have spent an extraordinary amount of time out in their big boxes. Their imagination knows no bounds. We ordered pizza in last night and we let them watch a couple of kid shows on tv…a really big treat for kids raised without a tv in their house. Today we are taking them to the Pirate indoor gym. Its a really fun place and they can safely run their butts off.
Now I must up and off. TTYL
