Day 2239 Glass slippers

30th September 2023

Kelli had been complaining of a pain in her foot since yesterday, I looked at it, and saw a small puncture mark, but didn’t see anything inside.

A couple of days ago she broke a glass and although it was cleared up, there could have been a piece that she could have stepped on.

It became vital that we get medical help when she felt a sharp pain in the sole of her foot when she put her shoe on.

We spent an hour in the local medical centre whilst a young medical assistant probed at her foot. But it was typical, she felt no pain no matter how hard he pressed, so we left with no positive result. Whilst we were out we looked around in the place that Kelli once sold her furniture through. It is a maze of small booths with all kinds of tat, it’s amazing how much stuff you can cram in such a small space. Then we ventured downtown visiting a toy shop looking for something for my young grandsons who I haven’t seen for ages.

As the sun was shining we had lunch out for a change, another sign that Kelli has passed another milestone.

Then it was back to the house for me to cut the grass, because it won’t get done until I return, and to start to pack a few things. I had my super jumbo case because I will have to bring a lot back with me, but it will be quite empty and light for the journey out.

We had settled down for the evening when Kelli received a message to say that there was “Three dressers” on 17th street. It was dark, and not appealing to go out again, but we did.

When we got there there was only one, which had a drawer missing and made from crap material, so we left it. Most often the free stuff is rubbish, so we didn’t feel bad about leaving it. There was no way she could have done anything with it on her own.
