Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7th October, 2022.

7th October, 2022.

Right: I’m officially up, early … 

Again … 

I’ve got a hygienist appointment.

Which is good: my teeth are starting to itch.

~≈¥≈~

The reason I was up, early, yesterday?

Was an appointment with a podiatric surgeon.

I’ve a only left though: and felt getting a surgeon’s opinion would be helpful.

His view?

Was that surgery would be useful: were it causing any more pain than it was.

Given it wasn’t, he felt surgery wouldn’t be a good idea.

So he’s writing to my GP, to tell her that: AND to tell her that the problem with my gait is further up the leg.

So I’ve ended up with something.

~≈🍗≈~

*        Hello, um!

†        I figured Patxi might play well Olga^.   ;)

        And cheers, Olga: I’m going to email them them, if I don’t hear about the assessment by one o’clock.   Sorry to hear about the power cuts.   Did the station have everything backed up?   That usually saves a lot of effort.

‡        Cheers, Debbi^: I think I’m going to need it!

        It sounds like the foot’s not going to need surgery.   Which is a relief, in one sense: I won’t be stuck in bed for a week!
