Pretty Sassy

In Southern California we just moved from summery warmth to a sudden chilled air.

This did not please the right foot and it’s plantar fasciitis.  In fact this injury has given me a sudden ability to detect a change in weather(or at least air pressure).

I go to the orthopedist on May 23rd at which point I will beg and plead for a cortisone injection I probably will not recieve.  They really keep those cortisone injections under a lock and key.

My dance instructor(who is also has a degree in sports medicine) told me that an occasional cortisone injection can be really helpful, but if given too frequently it can be harmful and sort of break things down(she used big people medical words that seem to escape me now).

I got my Footsmart.com order and am pleased to have injury-friendly shoes and a neat Plantar Fasciitis brace that is bringing some relief(but not a miracle cure).

Here is the sassy little brace that both helps my foot and makes people feel a little sorry for me.

I ordered a size small, but the fit gapes a bit on my ankle.

This is Hush Puppies Stellar(I have them in black).   They have a leather footliner(which is great thing on hot days) and are very cushiony.  The straps are tad on the too-wide, orthapedic look.  I don’t exactly look seventy, but I do look in the market for comfy shoes.
