Back On My Feet Again

eiffel_71Managed to lose my newish grey gloves, a magnificent woollen pair I was particularly fond of, in town at lunch time. A bit later I checked all three places I’d been to - bank, bakery and Poundland - but none of them admitted to any knowledge of my gloves :( Had to go buy a pair from Edinburgh Woollen Mill. The new ones don’t fit easily in my pocket, but they keep my hands warm so they’ll have to do.
Since, a week ago, gout medication failed to shift the pain in one of my right toes, establishing that it wasn’t gout, I’ve been wondering if the new shoes I bought on Christmas Eve are to blame. This week I’ve noticed that the pain is most acute when I’m wearing them.
A fortnight ago I’d managed to secure an appointment with Natasha for this afternoon, as she had a cancellation. I told her about my shoe theory. She confirmed that my toe isn’t infected or ingrowing, or showing any other apparent cause for the pain, so she concurred that it’s likely the shoes. “So stop wearing them.”
