Cate's Diary

It was your hair dryer that did the trick! :) Please send more.
Doing stuff is almost always better than sitting on your derrière at home :)
 
Just wondering Cate...about your feet...have you tested out any arch supports? Bunions and all notwithstanding...alot of foot pain is caused from no support in your arches. Good luck with that! :)
 
Thanks folks for your input & support.I have tried almost everything, including arch supports/orthotics, but will try a Physio I think next. I really only wear supportive shoes. The heat is exacerbating the problem. I just made a booking online to see a GP. G saw him a few weeks ago & we were both really impressed. I wore sneakers with my orthotics in them & socks as it was cooler today, but my feet are really stinging.
I had a good day today & visited a friend, while G was playing golf.
 
Okay, so take this suggestion with a grain of salt ...

But, I have taken a very holistic approach to my RA, as I have discovered it's really not just physical. My emotional state affects my pain tremendously, and can even trigger it. I have done a lot of research on tension myostis syndrome, and used a few different programs that have really helped. An easy one for beginners is Alan Gordon's 21 day program. I usually start to get some relief after about a week. It may be worth a try!

I'll check that link out later thanks, Jen. I'm running out of time to get around the diaries this morning & had better skedaddle xoxo
 
Hope the feet are feeling better today and the heat subsides for you soon. If you want to trade a few +35C days for some -35 days let me know and we'll swap weather systems :)

I love it too Em. I need to take a break in between though. I'm feeling very tired today & G has organised us to play golf again this afternoon! I don't have to go, but I probably will. It's only 9 holes (in the Chicken Run).

We may not have swapped FG, but we are now having some cool weather. I think it's only getting to 20 today. It feels better. I have really enjoyed our , unusually for Tassie, very hot Summer, but am enjoying the respite.

Really hoping your feet feel better.

My feet do feel better this morning. I'm fairly sure the heat has exacerbated the pain & discomfort. I'm seeing the doc on Tuesday & will see what he thinks.
 
Last night's Blue Moon/total eclipse. This is not my photo, but we got to see it through all of its stages & it was magnificent-
Here, three lunar events happened simultaneously; the moon was at perigee (the closest point in its elliptical orbit to Earth), it was a blue moon for most of the world and — most spectacularly — it was a total lunar eclipse.

Just beautiful. I was not in good place to see it, both in terms of light pollution and geographic location.
 
It was stunning. Apparently we were in one of the best places to see it. I'll add a link tomorrow to see some more photos.
Just played golf again & I played well. I really enjoy playing in the chicken runs. They are only 9 holes & just for fun. I think I won a chook :)
