Yesterday I did not feel well

I slept off and on almost all day yesterday. Very unusual for me. I even went to bed and slept soundly last night.
Today is Monday. My student who was out all last week was back in school. That is a lot of physical work. Then Bob met me and we drove to McPherson to see the foot doctor. I have not seen him in five years. I wanted Bob to come in case they did something t hat made driving painful.
I have had what I thought was a sore caused by broken glass for a long time.I am diabetic and we are supposed to be careful of sores that do not heal, especially on our feet. It may have been that I had some glass at one time and got it all out. My actual problem is blocked sweat glands on the bottoms of both feet. Doctor looked at them and scraped at them. He says they used to call these "seed warts" although they do not have the virus that causes warts.
He says there is nothing to prevent them and they do not need further treatment. They may or may not come back. Call him if I need him.
For a person who is as old as I am, and diabetic, my feet look very good. No foot fungus, ingrown nails, etc. I am able to trim my own toenails, too. I guess I can be happy about that.
Tomorrow I will leave work early to go with Bob to get his pacemaker checked at the cardiologist.
Wednesday, Thursday, and maybe Friday I am substituting in Ellen's room when I finish work with the preschool.

I don’t understand it, either. The only person I knew that couldn’t do her own was my ex’s grandmother. But to be fair she had severe blood pressure issues and got dizzy a lot of times when she bent over. She gave up trying to do her own when she turned 80.

I am really starting to have trouble cutting my own toenails now. It will be visits to a podiatrist next.

Sometimes I can sleep all day and all night with only waking up for bathroom breaks and right back to sleep again. It doesn't happen often but it can happen.
My doctor just checked my feet a couple of weeks ago and said they look fine. Once in a while, I do need help with trimming my nails.
I hope you and Bob are both okay.

Sounds like a busy week. Glad you had a decent foot check up. Hey, I do my own toenails as well. I hate having my feet bothered, it’s a pet peeve of mine.
I hope the rest of your week goes well!

I'm going to try to get back in to see the podiatrist on Tuesday because the "boot" is hurting my leg. I'm going to ask for a "shoe"
