My Feet Examination

Today I - as a part of preparing for the forthcoming changes in my first life - had my feet examined by an orthopedic technician (Profession corrected after reading Eddi's comment below).

The orthopedic technician was so absolutely enthralled by my feet that for a minute I was almost expecting him to start kissing, licking or - at least - sniffing them.

Luckily for me we had company so, with a deep sigh and a shudder of restraint, he controlled his urges and instead went ahead to inform me that I had the most beautiful high arches he had encountered during his ten year career. Likewise the hyper-mobility and over-supination of both my ankles was way past anything he had seen before.

In his judgement I would need very steady shoes to walk and/or run much without the risk of getting injuries. At least we would start there and see if I needed additional aids as time passed. He kindly assisted me to choose a pair of running shoes that were extremely comfortable and should help me with keeping my feet steady despite their hyper-mobility.

The chosen footwear

After today's experience I am bound to look at my feet in a completely new and more respectful way, Im sure.

Kim Ho - A Man to Reckon With

Eighteen year old Australian born actor and writer Kim Ho is certainly a man to keep your eyes on in the future. A young man who can write a story like this and perform it as compellingly, convincingly and breathtakingly is definitely someone to reckon with.

My deepest gratitude goes to blogger Daskadasenibordet,  loosely translated "Slap-the-schlong-on-the-table" for bringing this to my attention on his blog at Qx.se.

Selma & Sev

My buddy Holy Archer has posted some beautiful pictures on his blog Holy's Picture: Ceremony of Love. They are from the partnership ceremony between Sev Laval and Selma Edman.

Below you can see how I make a damned fool of myself in the comments...

... but what can I say, I was distracted by Sev's beauty and a bit tired.

Oh, and Selma's beauty was a huge distraction too of course!

Apologies

I must apologize to my family and friends in SecondLife for not being in-world at all the last days.

Let me first tell you that I am doing well but just thinking about and mentally preparing myself for the coming changes in my first life is taking its toll on me.

The tests on Tuesday went well and showed what could be expected. I am overweight. My heart is strong and steady, the blood tests show that my hematocrit and cholesterol and liver values are excellent as always. However my Oxygen uptake (VO2) shows that my physical condition is lousy and my fasting blood glucose indicate that I am pre-diabetic and need to shape up and change my dietary and exercising habits.

I am to have a meeting soon with a dietician who will give me some guidelines about what to eat and on Monday I have a new meeting with my health counsellor where we will decide on the goals we are going to set for the coming three months.

So all can still be salvaged - or so they tell me - but it is going to take some work and commitment on my part. I am so grateful for Diana reminding me that the change will not feel as a punisment six-eight weeks into the program.
