Like a " Real Woman " I have taken the opportunity to buy new shoes

because as it happens to be - I don't own higher heeled shoes. Well,

make that a didn't own.

I found some killer shoes that are completely matching my style and of

course couldn't stop at one pair but baught another color today, after I

stopped myself yesterday to sleep it over for a night. Luckily I saved

some money during my stay abroad and blew a part of it up for shoes

*hides bill from husband*[1].

[1] Yes, I know that I " shouldn't " have spent so much money on shoes

when there are bills to pay and everything but I fell in love with them,

it was money I have earned and saved and I felt like I deserved a treat

for working hard during the last year and now being so miserable because

of my tendon AND the upcoming exam. Say no to a bad conscience. Even

though 400 Euro are a lot of money *cough cough*.

If you consider that those shoes are a 'medical' expense, I bet you

could have easily justified such a cost. Think of these shoes as

prosthetics that look GOOD and you enjoy wearing :)

PS those must be SOME SHOES to have cost that much! But you saved the

money and you are worth what you say you are ;-) Heal that heel in

style gal!!

grins :) Katcha

LOL. That's exactly how I look at it now to soothe my bad conscience

(that I have of course despite it all, grr).

Pst - it wasn't only one pair and I also decided that I need " some shoes

for autumn as well " now that I'm " at the store anyway " . Don't tell

anyone, lol. And I also finally gave in to the peer pressure at the

hospital and got myself some crocs. The costs of those are included. :-D

I just realized that I usually buy really cheap stuff (pants, shirts,

etc.) - but when it comes to shoes, it's really different.

PS: Got a bit sore on my little toes from walking around in those shoes.

Not that I didn't expect it or something...

Dammit!

Even though I'm wearing higher-heeled shoes it doesn't seem to get

better. The whole area feels weird. Got myself another appointment at

the GP tomorrow. Alas, the doctor who saw me on Tuesday will not be

available until Monday again. I made the appointment but said that I

will maybe cancel it tomorrow morning if things are at least not getting

worse because it doesn't seem to make much sense to go to a doctor who

hasn't seen me on Tuesday and therefore isn't able to compare the

situation. I think I will simply wait and see how's it going until

tomorrow morning. Maybe it's just feeling weird because I'm not used to

walk around in heeled shoes and of course I did walk around the house

quite a bit yesterday since it didn't hurt at my heel...

I think it's simply not possible to walk around much (even though I'm

not wearing flat shoes) and it seems to be too early to start stretching

the muscle again. Unfortunately I have to go shopping for groceries

today and I can't tell hubby to do it because he's gone until Sunday

evening.

I feel that the pain always got better after walking around a bit which

gives me hope that it may still be acute and not chronic (yes, I'm

trying to convince myself here, but not doing a very good job...) which

gives hope that it will be alright again.

PS: Yes, I'm really doing a bad job in trying to convince myself that

everything will be alright again.

Oh Styxia! I so know how it feels when you are caught in the immediate

moment of the pain, discomfort and inconvenience too! Wishing you

better SOON and that which ever doctor you go to finds and helps you

right away too.

ehugs, Katcha
