walking, and joints
After a stretch of a couple of weeks where I couldn't walk very far (or fast) without pain, I was feeling somewhat better yesterday, so walking to the Whole Foods and back was OK.
This morning I was, again, feeling better/a bit closer to what I think of as my normal. I went to Whole Foods to get a couple of things, hoping to be back before it started to rain.
It still wasn't raining at a quarter after 1, so I went out again, this time by trolley, to shop for socks at the nearest Target. They have only a small selection of clothing, but I was able to get two packages of cheap non-wool socks in different styles. Plain black for both, because the packages with colors and patterns were things like eight pairs in eight different solid colors, less than half of which I liked, or a three-pack of one pair with a black-and-white leaf pattern, one in black and yellow, and in plain black with a yellow toe.
When I got home my phone said I'd walked about 1.2 miles (which means it was probably about 8/10 of a mile) and I was feeling fine. I then took out the trash (which means a choice of two different sets of stairs, neither of which is great for my hips and knees), and that was OK, but after dinner I noticed some pain in my right foot and then hip. So, another naproxen (I had one before going out this morning), and maybe I won't go anywhere tomorrow.
