Why didn't my mother name me Helen?

Okay, I officially live in a new place now! It is really great! Bob and I moved over the weekend and just finished cleaning out our old apartment completely today. WHAT A JOB!!! Anyway, we have a nice, cute new place to live now that is near both of our jobs. Wow! I am amazed that things are falling into place so well.

I went to a podiatrist today. I have been having pain in the arches of my feet and my feet have been cramping. So now, I have my feet wrapped with cool stuff that is staying on for a week. Then I am going back to be fitted for personalized arch supports that I can wear in any shoe. They cost $390! Fortunately, our insurance will pay it in full!!! I also got really big braces I am supposed to wear for an hour each day to stretch my muscles in my feet so that they can learn to relax more easily. I had x-rays done, and it showed my feet are turned funny, which makes me walk funny, which is flattening my arches and causing the pain. I felt a little silly since I was the only person under 40 in the waiting room, but I am starting to get a bunyon (?), so I guess it needs fixed! Aren't you so glad to know all of this?
