Lessons I learned today: Not wearing my leg braces is a bad idea...Because it was so hot I wanted to wear flip flops instead of my full leg braces with orthopedic shoes and knee high socks with pants (I think not wanting mild heat stroke is reasonable). I even carried my cane with me all day and used it when I need to walk long distances. My calf muscles are so tight every step was excruciating (now I understand why the UCD podiatrist suggested wedge-type shoes with a higher back than front). And now my left foot and ankle are considerably wider and puffier than my right foot and ankle. Yep, these injuries are definitely not in my head. I will attempt the flip-flop thing again in a few days, but with ankle braces and wrapping. Someday when I have money again, I will drop the extra cash for orthopedic wedge sandals so my legs dont have to swelter in mah special shoes. #isthisreallymylife
