Health Update

I went back to the doctor yesterday for the results of my recent x-rays. I'm afraid the x-rays of my neck show even more disk degeneration than the previous x-rays (taken in 2009) but at this stage the doctor can't propose anything other than pain killers and anti-inflammatories when needed. She was more concerned about my feet, however, as there seem to be even more osteophytes (bone spurs) which are making it more and more difficult for me to walk or to find shoes that are comfortable to wear. The next step is that I'll be going to see a specialist at the hospital - probably in Malaga or Torremolinos - to see what can be done: possibly the making of orthotic insoles or special shoes, as it's not yet at the stage where surgery would make much difference. I'm awaiting the hospital appointment in the post, and hoping it arrives before I leave for my trip to Africa. Thanks for your prayers.
