It occurred to me today that at the height of this winter's frigid temps, it seemed that summer would never come again; but, Memorial Day has come and passed and July 4th can't be far behind. Summer is actually a very compressed, fleeting season. It's the cold, dark winter that seems to last forever.
Summer is like my life. It all seems to have gone by in a flash and I sometimes wish I had enjoyed it more while it was happening.
Thursday, went to Albuquerque. Hanger will remake my ankle foot orthosis - took a new impression and sent it off to the lab. I was ready to give up on the brace because on Monday's 7.6 mile hike in Frijoles Canyon, it gave me a blister. The instep arch was just too high from the beginning and always left a red area on my arch. When I first tried the brace on, I couldn't even walk in it until they did some adjusting. The adjusting, though, seemed to cause my foot to pronate even more into the arch area and never relieved the pressure. The latest adjustment caused rubbing which caused the blister.
