[at-l] Knees---

>Plans: (unless my knees give out :)<

A couple of weeks ago, I went to the chiropractor for my plantar facitis (is
that spelled correctly, Orangebug?) in my right heel.  It feels like a huge
stone bruise that doesn't heel.  My right knee was also hurting off and on,
like 10 minutes/hour, but it was enough that I though it might ruin my hike.
The chiropractor said that the knee problem was from walking funny because
my heel hurt and sold me some kind of gadget (a stretchy foam strip that
wraps around my arch and below my ankle) that I wear except when I'm in bed.
My knee hasn't hurt a bit since.  Not a bit.  It's a miracle!  My heel still
hurts a bit when I'm sitting down, but it's definitely improved.  It never
hurts when I'm walking with the gadget on.  Wonder of wonders!  :^)  Leslie
