Warm Tootsies and Warm Hearts

The most amazing thing happened earlier this week.  I received a package from my friend Living Lightly…Linda Kay…and was amazed at what I found inside.  Hand knitted socks!  They are amazing and soft and comfortable and incredible!  Thank you thank you thank you so much!

Here’s the thing that Linda didn’t know.  I have neuropathy in my feet.  The doctors don’t know why; after all the tests there is no answer except, "Some people just get this."  YippeeSkippee for me!  But this means that I have no feeling from the balls of my feet to my toes at this point.  And at the same time, my feet are hyper-sensitive.  There is very little in regard to socks or slippers I can wear that don’t make my feet worse.  And these socks are PERFECT!

So thank you Ms. Living Lightly 🙂  You have warmed my heart along with my feet.
peace~~~

Oh wow, I didn’t know about the neuropathy. Or maybe I did know, but forgot (have you written about it?). Anyway, I’m so glad the socks fit and that they don’t aggravate your condition. I’m wearing one of the first pairs of socks I made after I learned to knit socks several years ago. I’ve mended them several times and I keep on trudging. 🙂 You deserve nice things done for you, D. You do so much for others. Hugs.

“Tootsies”. That word makes me laugh. I’m glad your tootsies are happy little tootsies. 🙂

Very cool and how neat that she didn’t even know about your neuropathy. I have a friend with that and she says it’s pretty awful. Bless Linda for sending the socks to warm your feet and heart! Peace~
