Look back at FB, there were signs pointing to what I happening to me now.

You know how FB tells you that you have memories to look back on? Well, looking back at some of mine I see things like issues with my tows feeling like they were all curled up in my shoes and could not get them to stop it. And when I was able to set down and take my shoes off my tows were not curled. And today a memory came up from a year ago about the left side of my face going numb.

Thinking of these warning signs....
I didn't want to make a big deal. I just thought it was stress from my job. Doc thought I needed to stop pushing myself like I did (can't push myself now).
I feel like an idiot. Why didn't I see something was supper wrong?

... about the toe-curling, if you work all day & walk or get them in a bad position. Stress can cause problems.... I think the face numbness is something to check out, though... I would see the Doc again. Take care of yourself!
