Hi Dr. Rynne:
The feet especially, and lower legs hurt. I just went to quick clinic Dr for the first time in 2=3 yrs and he said I was not pre or diabetic, according to the tests. I feel the body feelings of others, now only for a day or so, and pray, rather beg, them away daily, ... My recently deceased 92 yr old Mormon neighbor was diabetic. I went to he viewing and think now that anyone with an enhanced sense of empathy should probably just opt for the funeral, not the viewings. I am easily able to be alone and with a Christian sensibility, willing to take on others pain and suffering, to a point. It passes now in a day or two, gratefully, and with much pleading to higher healing powers these uncomfortable blendings pass . It is little wonder grandparents love their grandchildren. Their HEALTH!.
And, but, also... I am on my feet all day taking care of my first mortgaged house and yard and Norwegian Elkhound and am sadly but maybe safely, lfar away from the Chesapeake Bay. So am now trying to make this little body sit down more often with the feet up. But the veins are not looking good. The body I have taken care of responsibly was gorgeous so my acceptance of the aging process is somewhat thin so to offset that I go to a wonderful Osher Life Long Learning Center. Have called to make an appointment with a new faith based doctor to work with. Old age is indeed not for sissies. The best to you with it. Susan T.
