I should be really exited getting everything together to "land" on Monday and go house hunting in NB, but I have become a bit of a wreck this past week.

Went to London last Thursday to pick up passports complete with visas and I have hardly been able to walk since.

The Ball of my left foot which has been a bit achey of late sudenly became very painful on Friday morning.

I struggled through work (Marks & Spencer) on Friday and Saturday but had to phone in sick on Monday.

Went to the docter who didn't seem to know very much about feet.

According to him it could be my metararsal arch dropping.

Her suggested supports might help. but very little else. He couldn't tell me if the pain would ever get any better or if Ibuprofen would help.

Then on Monday evening I lost half a tooth!

Luckily managed to get an appointment for Wednesday and had very large filling.

I was so frozen that I could hardly swallow for hours after and I was numb almost to the top of my head.

Today I am feeling thouroughly sorry for myself.

I can only open my mouth half way as it is sore from the injections and my foot is no better.

I have just phone into work sick again and feel like an absolute traitor, after all I don't feel ill. But I just can't imagine having to be on my feet for 4 hours straight. Ther are no sitting down jobs.

I would like to hobble in tomorrow as it will be my last shift before my holiday.

Normally I would be half packed by now, but I havn't even got the suitcases out yet.

At least drving in Canada will be ok as the hire car will be an automatic. I can't use the clutch at the moment with my foot.

Anyway I am feeling very sorry for myself and feeling very old and decrepit.

Hopefully things will get better soon.
