I Didn't Want To Go Out...
But kept putting it off until I had no choice...
I am unable to get much more food and household items in any cupboard or the fridge freezer but I was short of two items staple to daily living...bread and milk.
I made the effort to go out(If I don't)Mum is housebound and its not always possible to expect a neighbour to help even though they may be willing.
Often I have an idea what I want to do but whether I am able is another matter.
I might have to give up, come home and try another time.
Luckily, the three or four places I had to visit were where the taxi dropped me and are virtually next to each other.
Everything seemed to be going reasonably well and though slow and I have to walk using a cane I thought just maybe I'll manage.
But as I made ready to enter the last place I put my right foot down and felt a very sharp pain in the sole of my foot, too late to stop me putting the full weight of my body on it.
Since then I have been unable to put much, if any weight on that foot without a lot of pain.
I have no idea how I injured myself but will have to wait to see if it improves with rest.
Update:It will take a few days but I think if I can keep from using my foot too much it may be slowly improving. If so I have been lucky.

Could you have bruised your heel? Very very painful but it is usually after jumping from a height.
It was under the foot between the heel and the toes, I guess in line with the fourth and fifth toes...
Happily it continues to improve...I'd like to say with rest but this past 24 hours I haven't had much of that...I can usually grab a few minutes here and there but Mum has needed even more care and things have to be done.
At some point I will have to arrange for my physical problems to be corrected(Finally, I'll need dentures and some extensive work done)and yes, that hernia fixing but I'll continue to muddle through and assuming Mum is still here, I will have to have her cared for a the few days it takes to sort me out.
Sadly though I have looked after my teeth the changes in the NHS meant I was without dentist for too long and now there are more teeth missing than I actually have.
But hey, there are some lovely dentures these days and as long as I have enough money to pay for them and get used to them, I'll be ok.
