I don't remember using the word orthotic before, now I am waiting for my orthotic inserts so I can walk again. They cost $400, I certainly hope they are worth it. I stayed home from church today and rested my foot. I wore sandals to the Temple yesterday and it was so painful just going to and from the car but not as painful as the wedge shoes I wore to Church last week. I could hardly walk to the car at all. I talked to my sister today and she had to get some last year and she said they have really made a difference in her life.
While sitting here I watched the life story of N. Eldon Tanner. He was always such a quiet, somewhat somber looking apostle but I remember I always learned so much from his talks. What a life he had. He had such accomplishments in government and then in private business and had retired and built a beautiful new home when called to serve the Church in Salt Lake. His astounding understanding of finances brought the Church out of the red into the black and he went on to be a counselor for 4 presidents of the Church. Even with all his dedication to Church, family, and government and the great honor bestowed upon him he was not free from health problems. In his later years he suffered from macular degeneration in the eyes and Parkinsons Disease. It is always so strange to me when these great servants of the Lord have to suffer just like everyone else, in fact, more than some. A great man, a great example to all in how to live your life.
It is so disturbing to see this Obamacare rammed down the throats of Americans even though everyone knows there are so many things wrong with it. I think it is 36 states that have already determined to sue against it. Think of the cost of that!! It is so insane. Our leaders are so out of whack in doing what is best. A total destruction of the Constitution. So much greed, so much corruption, so much arrogance...well we know where it is all going to end. It is just a matter of time. "If ye are prepared, ye shall not fear." I am glad I am already scheduled for all my tests this week and surgery and hopefully I can stay healthy for the rest of my life so I won't have to count on Obamacare to take care of me. But healthcare is just part of it. It is this take over of everything that is America and turning to Socialism and telling us THEY know what is best for us. How anyone can believe the rhetoric the Democrats have spun is beyond me. I feel sorry for the good Democrats that have tried to fight it and their lives are being ruined for making a stand. We are not giving our grandchildren a good world at all. And to top it off, to think it has to be done on the Sabbath!!! What is that all about? Unbelievable.
