The Wrong Shoes
WEEK-04: My Advantageous Leg Goes Bad
On Thursday after my 1st pillar Op. check on Monday, 2 wks pillar Op. and 3 weeks column ATR, my good leg takes a make a plunge take a header.
The strain of constantly having to pair of scales on one leg while washing, preparing bread, etc. has caught up with me. My profitable leg and foot are hurting to the amplitude I cannot walk on the serviceable leg and can just about rest on the feet up.
The good lower extremity hurts along the solitary on a thin line; the ankle and sink leg hurt when I advance by steps on the leg and lesser punishment when I stand.
