Doctor Heel Thyself!

This weekend we visited my daughter Stefanie in Portland, Oregon. She's studying to become a Chiropractor at the University of Western States.

Thursday night Keith slipped on some wet leaves and bruised his leg… and his ego.
Friday morning I jogged to work and injured my heel.

Sore and hurting, we were looking forward to Dr. Stef fixing us up. But alas, she sprained her ankle playing soccer!

So our original plans to hike got sidelined but we still had fun. As Stef says, the best thing is to gently exercise the injured parts, so we did...  

while touring, shopping and eating in and around Portland!

On a sad note the weekend is over but on a positive note we're all healed!
