Locomotion

I have been writing a lot lately about walking. For obvious reasons. I like to walk. It is one of my favorite forms of exercise. I like hiking up in the mountains. I like walking on the beach. I even like walking around the exercise track at Airport Road in Griffin.

Lately, however, if you have been reading my blog, you will know that I was unable to walk without pain for the last week or two. This was due to some condition which my good doctor couldn't specifically diagnose, however, he treated me for several things at the same time and I am now walking without crutches and have been able to shoe both my feet.

But you know that. The problem is that I have been without the ability to locomote easily for the past week and a half and it has been rather problematic to get around town. Or anywhere for that matter.

You see, I don't often get sick or encounter a condition which causes me trouble in getting around. So it has been quite a different past week or two for me.

Interestingly, Cindy stepped forward and helped out quite a bit. All of a sudden she was cooking and walking the dog and putting dishes and glasses in the dishwasher and pushing the trashcans out to the street and back. It has been quite a show for me, while I lay on the couch with my foot on the back of the couch.

In addition, I have been taking quite a few pills per day to deal with this condition, whatever it may be, and, of course, my high blood pressure. I had two large horse pills for my blood pressure and my an infection. Then, I had two tiny, tiny pills, one white and one kind of lavender, for the other possible diagnoses on my foot condition.

But now I am better. I will continue to take the pills for a few days to ensure that my recovery is complete.

In my travels today, I got to drive to Carrollton for a hearing in the State Court of Carroll County. This was an appeal of an action in Magistrate's Court. The defendant had filed an appeal without notifying me or mailing a copy of same to me. Apparently, the defendant wanted to buy the property back from the lender but the lender was not willing to allow them to stay in the house post foreclosure. They took umbrage at this and filed their appeal.

What a lot of mess for something with very little merit. Of course, I checked the clerk's indices before the hearing today and found a deed entry a couple of years ago from the defendant to a third party, so, perhaps, this is just an elaborate way to protect a third party and protect her credit. There was a third party who attended the hearings with the defendant who remain anonymous throughout. I wonder if he was the real party in interest.

These things get rather complicated sometimes.

Anyway, I am looking forward to our trip this weekend. It will be nice to vacate for a weekend. Even if it is going to be rather wet and cold.

On to Knoxville.
