It was our Probus meeting yesterday but I had to leave early because I had an appointment with the podiatrist. I thought I had an in-grown toenail but it turns out that it's more to do with my shoes. The podiatrist said that the ones I wear every day are too narrow for my feet. "But I don't have wide feet!" I moaned.
"No," she said. " But you have wide nails." Wide nails? I've had lots of insults thrown at me over the years but that's a new one. Wide toenails, indeed.
The shoes I was wearing are New Balance and were a present from Jamie and Nera for my birthday twelve months ago. I'm sure they weren't cheap and my back-up pair are also New Balance. What to do?I'm not keen to spend hundreds of dollars on new shoes which might be just as bad. At the moment I've found a pair of cheap Coles sneakers in the back of the wardrobe which are doing the trick and Jamie has rung to say he's coming around with another pair he's found that might be suitable.
I blame getting old. Things start to go wrong when you pass 80 and I'm living proof.
