random podiatry

[deird_lj]

Apparently I have knock knees and flat feet, and desperately need orthotics. (I also need new shoes.)


I don't know about you, but "knock knees" always puts me in mind of fictional orphans wearing hand-me-down gingham dresses and gazing wistfully out the window at all the society girls going to tennis parties...
(Yes, I read a lot of very old novels.)

"Flat feet" doesn't put me in mind of anything, really. But knock knees are appropriately fictional.


Knock knees and whooping cough, all within a month! My campaign to become a romantic fictional character is going well.

LOL! Yeah, that's the image that comes to my mind as well.

Flat feet makes me think of reasons you can't join the Army. :)

Woo! I'm coming up with quite a list of those, too - starting with the glasses...

Alas, I don't think they're so picky anymore...

You need high button shoes and a pinafore.

And should start sewing a sampler post haste

There should also be a butter churn involved in all this.

I've got flat feet too. I'm going back to the podiatrist as soon as I find out if I've got an arthritic condition or not.

What can I say, sweetie? The flesh fails us all.

Meep! I hope you're not going to develop consumption!

Hee! Glad to hear the quest continues. Now if only you could develop a tragic past involving fires, poverty and/or war...
