My concern that MrsBlue's foot injury might be serious is easing, as she's getting around a lot better and says it's less painful all the time. Her relief is a relief, as feet are super-complicated mechanically, containing over a quarter of the bones in our bodies, and I'm aware (not from personal experience, thankfully), that foot problems can be difficult to treat and a nightmare to endure. So here's hoping she's right, and this won't be an issue.
