Finding the problem.
( x-ray Dr M Le Bella)
You know Mary Margaret, Kelly and my old buddy from the Camino, she used to refer to her foot problems as her stigmata. It is a kind of Catholic joke which Catholics appreciate and they can make jokes like that. We can joke all day long and we did. But I digress.
So, today I went to Dr Matt Le Bella to check out my right foot which hasn’t been the same since since Spain. That is what I am calling my stigmata but since I only have one I really don’t know if stigmata is the right word, singular or plural. Anyway, he did his magic and eased my mind on the seriousness of my problem. He fixed me up with treatment, new insoles and product recommendations. He said I should come in every six months or year for a tune up. OK, which is cool because I got us talking about the Camino and I was there with him for over any hour. My favorite, gabbing away about our fav topic with someone new.
So, maybe I should make this guy the offical foot doc of Phil’s Camino. That would be quite the honor. He would be in the credits along with Padre Tomas our offical spiritual director and Catalina Barush being our offical historian. None of this pays very well but it would be great on the old resumé. I did bring up the fact that doctors along the Camino don’t charge pilgrims for working on their feet but he didn’t respond to that. I wasn’t hinting about anything was I?
it’s a wonderful life loves, Felipé.
I hope I get credited as Official Mischief Maker. Or Official Safety Officer.
Esther, or Commodore of Excellent Ideas. Sounds like a Monty Python. Love you, Felipé.x
Love it! An official foot doc would be oh, so apropos! I broke the arches in both my feet leaping out of our hayloft when I was a youngster. When I had my mandatory physical at the time of my draft notice, the docs kindly suggested I could get a medical deferment as a result. I deferred the deferment, and so glad I did. He noted I had the “flatest feet he’d ever seen”. 🤔 Side note, when I took the physical prior to USMC OCS, the docs also took note, but didn’t offer a free pass😉.
Still walking!

PFJ ~ hard core bro! PFF.
Yes! I vote Dr. Matt Le Bella as the official Phil’s Camino Foot Doc!!
Robbi~ hi. Love this guy. He is in West Seattle close to the Trader Joe’s. You can get everything you need in one trip! Felipé.x
Hola Felipe! The singular is ‘stigma’ and I’m hoping your good doctor’s suggestions help and he’ll accept his new appointment as official foot doctor of Phil’s Camino! We can all use him.
It IS a wonderful life loves to you and Your Rebecca,
Mary Margaret
MM ~ oh thanks, I knew someone would work out the rules and regs of that. I have to contact Dr LaBella somehow. There is no mechanism to email on the clinic website of course. Can’t talk to anyone anymore.
So, how are you holding up there? Send some news. Felipé.x
