    @christine-angela-brailsford Hi Christine! Thanks for the Birthday wishes! I hope all is well. I know you wrote a while ago about a health scare and I hope that is under control and that you are feeling better by now. I haven’t been on this site in a long time and am trying to navigate around. I keep getting error messages and I reported that. I have been really busy with church and continue to do so but at the moment have a problem with my left foot but that doesn’t stop me. I am resting now but I have 2 broken bones and I can’t even tell you how this happened as things just seem to happen in life in my left foot and I have a boot to wear and this comes a little less than 2 years from when I had surgery on my rt foot to remove a cyst and repair a tendon in several areas. But I can’t complain because things could always be worse. This is just minor stuff in the scheme of things. My cat Deedee turned 4 in April and she still likes to give me a good bite even though I do not provoke her. Not sure why she does this and probably never will. The vet said this is just her personality so I will leave it at that.

    • Hi Roberta,
      Thank you so much for your lovely mail tome,
      im so sorry to hear about your health problems and you having to wear a boot, ive had a problem with my right foot, began last april, i left it a month before i went to see a dr, who prescribed me gel to rub into it, i thought maybe i had pulled a muscle in my foot, after a month using that gel i saw another dr in the practice who sent me for an x ray on my right foot, turns out i have a heel spur, was referred to physio therapy for that, waited over 3 months to get the p.therapy, i had around 4 sessions and the therapist said come back jan 4th, so i did and when i went back she was not there to see me, so had to make another appointment which was 2 wks later she said its not working go to your dr about steroid injections into the foot, which i did, and that took untill march to get, i has the steroid injection, which was painfull as it went into my heel, that did not work, so went back to my dr who referred me to a specialist, chose to go to a private hospital near us and they take n.h.s patients, national health patients, he was appalled by my drs, and he ordered an mri scan which i has a couple of weeks ago and i go back to see him on july 1st, its really quick at getting things done there, he also wants me to get a referral to a london hospital for shock wave therapy to be done under ultrasound scan, so have to wait for that appointment to come through, the consultant is saying he may do dry needling where he puts me to sleep and put needles deep into my foot and he will do what ever else needs doing , i keep going have to to be honest, got stewarts parents coming tuesday for lunch, its their wedding anniversary tomorrow, but we cannot do tomorrow as we are busy shopping, our puppy patch is coming along ok, he’s now 17 months old, we went to wales in may for a week, took patch with us, he loved it there, the lodge was really lovely too and the hot tub a bonus too, sorry to hear your cat still bites you, patch nips me a lot, but he does not mean to be spiteful, i hope everything else is going ok there for you, so sorry to hear about your foot though and all the operations you have been though, I’m praying for you there, take care my friend hugs to you christine x
