Extra Space and Support
I recently returned to the doctor to seek additional help with my left foot's ongoing – and vexing – problem. Patiently pointing out where my arch was falling, he identified the culprit as an "…excessive number of birthdays."
Showing me a shoe insert that he uses, he said, "Your days of walking barefoot or wearing shoes without arch supports are over. Get the support you need – and then get a wider shoe."
Following his orders, I ordered the inserts he recommended for my boots and a new pair of wider sneakers. Extra support and more space seem to be doing the trick.
Despite now possessing several pairs of shoes that will find themselves dropped off at the "Nearly New," I learned an excellent principle for family caregivers.
We benefit from the extra support of family, friends, doctors, counselors, and clergy - and we desperately need space from toxic individuals who criticize or even those who consume our time white-boarding solutions like, "Have you tried this? What about doing this?"
While many yearn for 'big victories," sometimes the win for caregivers can be a less painful walk through the often drama-filled caregiving journey.
Relationships, like shoes, aren't worth much if they're painful.
"If the shoe fits, wear it.” – Unknown
