The sunshine felt sooo good when it wasn't behind a cloud. It has been so wet and rainy here in Oregon. I can only remember 2-3 dry days in forever, and today was one of them. I found an app that uses location, elevation, weather, temperature, and a couple of other factors that will tell you the best time of day to be outside to get vit D. It's called dminder. You can even tell it your skin type (I'm very fair skinned, red-headed and freckled 😊), and the app tells you how long you can stay in the sun before burning. Thought I'd tell you about it, since you have low D levels too. I got it in the App Store. ☀️

Thank you for asking about my foot. 😊 I was born without arches in both feet, and I have always had trouble with them, especially pain. About 3 years ago, I started having pain around my left ankle going up into my leg. The foot doctor thought it was posterior tibial tendinitis and put me in a boot, as keeping it immobile at a certain angle was supposed to heal it. Unfortunately, we didn't catch the tendinitis in time and the tendon was shot. It required surgery to repair the tendon, and to keep it from going bad again, I also had to have my foot reconstructed with an arch so that everything worked properly. I had that surgery 2 years ago. It was major surgery with 7 different incisions between my foot and leg (for the tendon). To build the arch, bones were broken, and cadaver bone was wedged in the broken places to "build up" my foot. My heel was cut off, moved over, and screwed back on with 2 long screws. The process is kind of like a tripod. Recovery took a year, and I had to learn how to walk again. Other than the problem I'm having now, the surgery was a success, and I'm so happy with how that foot walks and wears shoes. I was going to have the other foot done, but that's on hold for at least another year.

I hope you have a sunny happy weekend, wherever you are! 😎💖💐🌷 🐾🐾
