I've been counseled on that as well, I just must have iron feet. I am having
electrical issues with them and my silly brain damage, however. Workup for a
nerve conduction test tomorrow.

For all the problems I have--mostly stroke damage related--I am really
blessed that my body seems made specifically to hike. It might be genetic,
or it might be a few k-miles practice, I do not know.
