The Covid-19 self isolation/Quarantine has had little or no impact on my life. Who knew that my life has been 'self isolation' since last year?
Family: All is well! No one sick, no one hurt. Everyone is bored out of their skulls.. well, I'm not totally bored. VR headset is rather entertaining.
My heel, while the foot was taped, was feeling pretty good in the shoes the podiatrist told me to get. Then, the tape came off, and the right shoe is too big. If I had a lot of money, I'd buy one pair size 9 for the right shoe, and one pair size 9 1/2 for the left shoe. I've tried a few things, with so so results, to stop the shoe from sliding up and down on the back of my heel, and not tied so tight my foot goes numb. Tried wearing thin sport sock under the regular sock, and felt ok at first, but my foot started going numb, no matter how I loosened the laces. Will have to talk to podiatrist, and physio regarding this problem. Am seeing Dr S (osteo surgeon) tomorrow. Will see what he had to say on the matter.
The padding on my chair seat is squished down to the point it feels like I'm sitting on just the frame. Went to Clark Rubber and got a square of memory foam. It's pretty good, although it does need a bit of beveling on the front edge. It's currently residing in an old, by clean, t-shirt. My butt takes me for the cushioning. :D
Have to say stress levels are rather high. Health issue, and family issues. Wing working from home meaning we had to tiptoe around the house because he was video conferencing, or on a phone call. That also meant no vacuuming, and hoping the washing machine didn't have an unbalanced load. Thankfully, he's back to the office.
The child my eldest put up for adoption got in contact with her father, my son, last year. She got in touch with me earlier this year. It was great to hear from her. She is everything a 20 something young woman can be. Unfortunately she comes with so heavy emotional baggage that I am unable to help her with sorting out. I've been umm stressed from what she related to me. Stress, for me, causes hemi-dystonic seizures. I really don't want to zombie myself by going back to three doses a day. Yes, she is my grand child, but I can't deal with this right now. She is too needy, and clingy. I'm currently seeing counselor, and that last thing I need is to take on someone else's problems at this time.
