Thu: forgot to mention something
When I went to the physical therapist on Monday for my L ankle, he said that my ankles are extremely hyper mobile.That they move around and bend inwards when I walk. He also said that my knees are hyper mobile and the off set ankles further off set the knees, which further off set my back. I already have chronic low back pain and the off set of the lower limbs worsen my backs condition. If I don't already have pain in my knees, i will probably start feeling it soon. He said that the bones in my knees knock against each other when I walk as a result of the hyper mobile joints, and in my case, extreme case of it. So, I need to always wear very supportive shoes and he told me that I have to be very careful from here on out. I should see about getting custom made hard shoe insoles that would better hold my arch and profide more support for my ankles. Otherwise, arthritis will be setting in my knees and ankles. I already have it in my back and I don't want anymore damage. And they say your 20s are supposed to be the prime of your life! It doesn't make me feel any better to see those arthritis commercials cuz they always have people much older than me on it. And I've been on arthritis meds since 22 yrs old! When people ask me "what happened to you?" I just say, "the Marine Corps happened". cuz that's what it does to your body, it ages you way beyond your years. On a happier note, I will dye my hair red white and blue for the 4th. God bless everyone and you hope you all have a very fun and cheerful 4th!

I pray that the custom arches help. I hope you post a picture of your hair...I know you\'ll look adorable!! ((gentle hugs))and lots of love!!
I am afraid I will be heading in that same direction soon as the pain in my knees, ankes, legs and feet get unbearable. I haven\'t tried them yet, but have found a pair of flip flops you can get that you can put an orthotic in! I\'m dying to try them but don\'t have a credit card to order on the net and they aren\'t available anywhere around me. They are called Bite Spirit OS. The least expensive place I saw them was Altrec.com because they offer free shipping. I\'m still dealing with the broken toe or whateverthehellitdidtoit issue, so have been careful what I walk around in. I absolutely hate wearing shoes or sneex in the summer and the actually hurt my foot when I put them on because they swell in the summer. Ok, so anyway............. Happy 4th of July and definitely be sure to post those pics! :o)
You got to take pics of the hair. Hope you have a great holiday weekend.
