Good morning/afternoon/evening to everyone! Just checking in to see how everyone is doing this morning. Things are still the same around here...doctor's appointments, xrays, ultrasounds scheduled over the next two weeks. I went to an ortho doctor last Wednesday and got an injection in the hip that has arthritis. It is feeling much better and I am grateful. I have an appointment on Friday to see a podiatrist and I am praying that he can do something about the pain I have been having in my feet. My labwork showed that I was extremely low in Vitamin D so I have been taking medication for that and hope that the next labs show that is has gone up. So, what has everyone been up to around here?

It takes a lot of time before the Vitamin D goes up after you start take medical supplement. I know because my husband was very low in Vitamin D and it took 3 months to see an improvement.

I didn't know that. I'm sure she will want to have more lab work done soon as I just finished the last pill last week.

@simone10 She will surely make other tests. To make the vitamin D working better eat some walnuts soon after you have taken your pills.

@LadyDuck Okay, I will give that a try. My vitamin D level was half of what the normal should be. I wonder what caused it as I've never been low on vitamin D before.

Well, as you know, we just came out of Sukkot by spending 9 days camping. Besides helping my daughter on Sundays and Mondays, I am now babysitting for my neighbor's daughter on Thursdays and my other neighbor needs my help cleaning her house on Wednesdays. I didn't go yesterday because she couldn't for some reason, so I am going tomorrow because she has these ladies coming in that are picky about clean homes. I am happy to say (and pray I hear you say this as well real soon) that my foot problem is about nonexistent, I have just a little tightness first thing in the morning, but no more sharp pitches of pain in my feet. Of course now my right knee is messing up. I think that is due to me falling on concrete a few weeks ago, the knee already had an old injury, so it isn't healing as fast as I would like.

@simone10 I was just thinking about you the other day. I'm glad your feet are doing better. Mine are a little sore today, but I spent most of yesterday ranking leaves, so I guess I overdid it a little.

@Carmelanirel2 I always have to pay for overdoing anything. It is hard to learn what I can and can't do.

My feet are feeling a lot better over the last few days but I know it won't last. I'm just enjoying it while it does. I'm glad to hear that your foot pain is a lot better.

I don't have diabetes so it's not coming from that. It's very possible that the pain is coming from my lower back. I have a tiny herniation but nothing major so can't have surgery. It is extremely painful and I think I would rather give birth than go through this.

I know that the pain has not been resolved but I am hopeful as I am sure you are that you will get some relief.

I do have good days in between the bad so I know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel on those bad days.

What a palaver for you to have to go through all that. I'm fine, looking forward to going to Spain next week.

Yes, it really is a lot to go through but now I am almost at the end of it all. Just an appointment with pain management tomorrow. I hope you enjoy your vacation in Spain.
