I'm sharing this update to clue you in that human feet and knees need more than well-fitting shoes. They need good sense.
While racing around one early morning last week, preparing for an especially hectic day packed with appointments, I chose not to wear slippers or shoes during my "Gotta get dressed, pack my papers, water bottle and wallet" haste. So, naturally, I slammed my foot into a metal doorjamb, busting a baby toe in the process.
OW.
I incidentally met my podiatrist a while later at the bank. He looked quizzcally at my limping self entering the waiting line. I said, "Busted the baby toe, bandaged it to the next toe in a secure manner and now it's splinted." He winced and let me know there's nothing further he can do about the situation.
So, in my gracious acceptance of physical realities, I offer you some necessary "knews" about feet, toes, knees and shoes. sigh...
