EPILOGUE
Today is Tuesday, March 18, 2014, everything that came home with us is washed and put away. The freezer serviceman was here yesterday. The evaporator fan had failed so there was no air movement in the freezer. This let the warm air rise and thaw the upper shelves. The replacement fan will be here on Thursday.
Back on March 2 I mentioned that something was causing great pain in my left foot. I was concerned that it was a stress fracture. It was not. I saw my podiatrist this morning. He suspected a strain in my posterior tibial ligament. This controls the flexion and arch of the foot. X-rays revealed that the ligament was involved, but what happened was that it broke off a fragment of bone at the attachment point. I will have an MRI on Thursday. This will show the full extent of the damage. In all likelihood surgery will be necessary to repair the problem. Dr. O’Hara said the extensive walking that I did was the likely cause. For now I am using a walking boot to disable flexion of the arch. That does relieve the pain. Thanks to all who expressed concern for me.
Alice and I are enjoying the memories of this Grand Voyage. We value the new friendships we made. We marvel at the things we saw and did. And we thank God for the opportunity to enjoy His world in such Grand fashion.
We wish you well, good health and safe travels.
Thanks for following along.
