Paying a little for the overdoing yesterday. It's a hard balance between participating and surviving. When my energy is up and I can do more things, I just can't help myself. Still striving for my yesteryears. So today, I am exhausted. Managed to do a couple loads of laundry and had my daughter take me to the store for some household goods, then it was everything I could muster to cook dinner.
It's funny the silly things that come to mind when you are deprived of certain things. So a while back I posted about an AFO I have to wear related to some mild foot drop. The problem with it is the design is strictly for tennis shoes that have removable soles. The AFO fits under the sole, which means cute sandals, flip flops are completely out.
Here's the thing, I like cute shoes. I never was a high heel gal, but cute sparkly shoes I love. Today I went to the store in cozy flip flops and it makes so much harder to walk. My leg gets so tired and my cane gets more of a work out. Darn it, I want Ruby Red Slippers like Dorothy had. Ones that can take me over the rainbow where I can be "normal" again, not to mention stylish.
I have settled for wearing Vans. They actually have sparkly red ones, maybe I will get them. They can be my new Ruby Reds. I guess sometimes you have to create your own rainbows. I am working on that.
