For months (maybe a year) my feet hurt.
I assumed I knew why.
Trade shows. Concrete floors. Standing for hours. Getting older. Whatever.
So I just dealt with it.
Then it got to the point where I couldn’t walk around Lidl (a tiny grocery store with literally FIVE AISLES) without being in agony for the rest of the day.
I finally went to the doctor. He wasn’t sure what it was, but he prescribed an anti-inflammatory.
Three weeks later
Almost completely back to normal.
I’m slightly annoyed with myself for waiting so long.
But it was also a pretty good reminder:
Sometimes we live with a problem because we’ve decided it’s just the way life is.
And then we build all kinds of workarounds because of that assumption.
Amazing what can happen when you finally talk to someone who actually knows what they’re doing.
