Those of you who are up to date on my blog know that she is keeping her mouth zipped about an unfortunate incident - the other person involved is very litigious, despite being in the wrong as they initially accepted full responsibility.
So she hasn't said a word but Karma, the all-seeing spiritual 'eye' in the sky, saw what happened, swooped down from the Heavens and has dealt with it.
ON TO MUCH HAPPIER NEWS!
She had an amazing extraordinary day yesterday!
She's recently been experiencing horrendous pains in her left foot and has periodically, for three years now, had chronic pain in her lower back (think kidney region).
The weird thing is that this pain only comes when she is standing in one place for a length of time and when she sits down on a low seat.
But never materialises when she walks or works at the allotments.. curious, no?
She discussed this with her darling Pat, who told her to go immediately to see Burchells, the podiatrists on Fulham Palace Road.
She went to see them and saw Rob Thomas, the manager, he looked at her foot and said that he was going to make an appointment for her to see Joanna who specialises in tendons.
So she went to see Joanna yesterday morning.
Joanna has both x-rays eyes and a huge amount of knowledge!
For she immediately pinpointed the first area of pain on the area directly under her ankle bone on the inside of her foot, then worked her way over the arch of mama's foot pointing out another area of pain and went again immediately down to the source of pain on the outside of her foot - for which mama had wrongly blamed her strappy sandles.. the ones that give her striped suntanned feet!
The result?
Mama's right leg is minutely shorter her left!
And due to the polio she contracted when she was six, her right knee is not quite as fully formed as the left one.
This minute difference in length in her legs is, therefore, causing the lower back pain when she stands still for any length of time and when she sits down in a low seat, who knew the smallest fraction of loss in a leg could and does cause such pain?
She was given a pair of insoles and the heel of the right one was raised by a minute amount. The difference was instantaneous!
But then came the 'bad sad' news. Joanna told her that she must not wear them all day immediately (BOOHOO) but only for an hour for the first three days, a couple of hours for the next three days and so on, this is so that the hip aligns itself slowly to being in the proper position.
Mama has to have an x-ray as Joanna's clever fingers also think she might have fractured the skinny bone on the edge of her foot, no, I don't know which one, I'm not up to speed on human feet.
And she wants her to visit the osteopath she recommended to check out her lower spine and to do a minor correction which will help her balance which is a bit wonky at the moment.
The rest of the day will be put into another post, suffice to say, she travelled out to Essex by bus and train to see Emma, the lovely daughter of ValerieAnn Worwood.
Long time readers of my blog will remember ValerieAnn as a magical woman with miraculous fingers who stopped mama from going blind.
Well, meanwhile we're deeply envious of Big Julie, Andreea, Amelia and Lukas who are in sunny Spain and living the life of old Riley on a beach.
PipPip meanwhile back here, splosh goes the rain.
GeeGee Parrot.
