The process was underway. I had signed up for an operation. After over 14 months of limping, sitting out long walks and struggling round the shops, an end was in sight.
I had wondered many times just what had triggered my sore foot. I had finally arrived at two possible events that may have contributed to it. My foot had been stiff for a while but it had not really given me any trouble. One day I fell and sharply twisted my foot. I was with my young son who had run out into a car park and I was more preoccupied with him than the rough ground I was walking over.
My foot felt like a sprain, I was able to limp over to the car and to drive and the pain went away fairly quickly, but it had been a nasty twist and I didn't get it checked out.
The second event may well be responsible for a whole pile of foot and ankle problems - the closing of Woolworths! I queued for three hours to buy some items (obviously not realising that it would be that long) in a pair of old, unsupportive trainers. A couple of weeks later I was limping round. Was my son's Scooby Doo T-shirt worth it? Well, he still loves it now...!
