Couldn’t put weight on my left foot this morning when I got up. Eventually the pain went away, but it’s a little alarming. Trying to get to see a foot doctor as soon as possible. So I ventured into the attic to retrieve a crutch from Clare’s recent foot surgery.
Update. Likely plantar fasciitis. I stretch on an inclined block a few times every day and she suggested orthotic inserts. I already had a 20-year old set, but I had another set made so I don’t always have to move them around from footwear to footwear. Time marches on.

Been there, sadly. Custom orthotics really do help. I'm here to testify to that after working in one of the big box warehouses for nearly eight years - walking 12 to 15 miles per day on concrete - up and down metals stairs and lifting 50 to 75 pound totes of the cart to the conveyor. And that is seriously NOT an exaggeration.
I like how you illustrated your misadventure. I had plantar fasciitis when I was doing martial art session daily and it is painful. Stretching really worked well for me. I even got a device that you can get online a sort of rocker for the foot.
