My Feet Are Healed But.....

Want to see what costs $600.00 but can make your feet feel all better? Even if you answered no I'm going to show you.

Here ya go......


The shoes are only part of the equation. Inside them are custom orthodics to help my feet go where they should. I also have one leg a 1/2" shorter than the other..supposedly from pregnancies.

I was amazed the doctor never touched my feet once during the appointment. I walked on a "virtual" carpet which measures this and that. The orthodics are made from that "virtual" imprint. Scary when you dishing out $600.00 also sad that health care has come to computers and no more physical contact. Like the doctor at the walkin clinic lastnight {but that is a whole different topic}.

We have coverage by our province for health care, doc appt, ultrasounds, hospital visits, everything is covered except drugs {when out of hospital} and some other things. So when you have to pay for something it is a wake up call. I had to pay for this particular doctor because she is a podiatrist so that cost me $110.00 for her consult..BUT...my feet are happy.

Now everything else is out of whack. My hips and back. Even my knees hurt after a run {if you can call it that} the other day. So I guess she is going to get more money out of me if the pain continues because it means I need to be readjusted and guess what...I am scared to go to a chiropractor!

So reassurance would be great.

I should be packing our bags for another lake trip but I still have a sore throat and part of my voice is missing yet. At least I can swallow and I don't feel like a truck ran over me. The baby is destroying the office as I type but soon will want his breakfast then bath then bed {tough life}. So I will get moving as duty calls.

Have a great weekend and do not forget to leave me some reassurance if you have been to a chiropractor! Bad experiences I don't want to know about.
