I went to the Podiatrist to find out why the ball of my foot has been killing me all summer! He suggested wearing the foot pads which kind of worked but I ran out of the samples he gave me. So going back he recommended an MRI of my foot. I'm seeing dollar signs rolling here...... but I had it done and went back yesterday to find out the results. I have what is called a Morton's Neuroma, which is an inflamed nerve which binds itself with tissue/fat and that is what causes the pain. So he recommended a cortisone shot which I did. We talked at length about what kind of shoes are best for me and he gave me several brands which give good support. I think the highest on his "list" was New Balance in the higher numbers.... so back to New Balance I will go.... the Spira's I bought last year before we went to Coffeyville really killed my feet last weekend when I wore them. I see why now....
Our Newmar camping rally was here at Deer Creek Valley Park so we were here to greet everyone who came. There were 13 rigs here for the weekend. It was fun to visit and see everyone. We may not see some of them until next Spring. One morning a few of us gals went shopping and just spent the day visiting. On Friday morning we took a tour of the State Capital. It was very interesting. They are doing a major renovation $285 million to be exact..... so we couldn't see all but what we saw was really beautiful. The House and Senate Chambers have been redone and they are gorgeous! We went to a small Mom and Pop restaurant in North Topeka called Perubsky's. They only serve cold meat sandwiches with potato salad, beans etc. They are attached to a small old grocery store. All the sandwich meat is sliced as you order it. It is in an area called" Little Russia". I didn't even know that area was there!
Saturday morning, Bill and I went to our grandson's football games. Boy was it hot!!! It wasn't even a high of 90 but the sun was stiffling! Saturday evening, our evening meal was catered by a grocery store, called HyVee, here in Topeka that caters. They had a great meal of roast beef, turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, salad and cheesecake for dessert. It was a great meal!
Sunday, we went to church and then Erin/Ryan and kids came out for dinner. We grilled London Broil's for us. They were great!
Bill got a tonneau cover for the back of the truck.... he put that on one afternoon this past week. It is a little different than what we had on the other one. He has been dealing with a sore hip.... so chiropractor appt.'s for him to work that out. He is walking and doing much better.
I have been doing some sewing and completed a couple of things this week:
Here is the table runner I made for Megan as a surprise for her and a "late" birthday present. This year for birthday's everyone is getting a homemade gift of some sort.... they may be late but they are getting something!
Also is a picture of the quilt I have made for our bed. I started it last winter in Texas and had it quilted by someone here in Topeka. It is shorter on the side and I didn't realize it would be that short... should have added more borders but too late now. Always learn a lesson!
Monday morning I had a dental appt. to do some tissue grafting for one of my front bottom teeth that didn't take when I had them done a couple of years ago. She clipped a small cord at the bottom of my tooth which she thought might be the cause of the tissue not covering the tooth. So I have 3 stitches in the bottom of my gum area for 2 weeks! I can't bite off anything until the stitches come out.... how will I eat chips and salsa... Bill told me we will really have Mexican food withdrawals before then! I can cut tthings up and chew in the back but not bite off food.
I have had a problem also with the muscles in my back between my shoulder blades...so a trip to the chiropractor and it is somewhat better, finally! I knew I needed an adjustment but these muscles are not letting go or relaxing! But,...I have hope now with my feet getting better, Bill's back getting better and slowly my back getting better we will make it afterall! Stay tuned!!!
It is such a gorgeous day here today... we really had quite a bit of rain yesterday and that cooler front is here! We both went for a walk this am ...it was so nice!
Going to lunch with some friends in a short while and then I"m not sure what else the day will bring!
Have a good weekend!
Until next time!
