Since it has been so hellishly hot in NYC, I really haven't been leaving the house during the day. I've tried a few times and it's just so damn hot out that it's painful... I get tired, feel really fatigued and I start to swell up.
The only time the temperature is reasonable enough for a walk is about 8 or 9pm once the sun has gone down... It's still toasty but at least doable. So, every night, my husband takes me for a walk. We live right near the Hudson river, so we take a nice leisurely stroll... It's me and hubby walking along the water with half of the upper west side and their dogs...
We can't walk for too long because my "dogs start barking" (and sometimes they howl)... I have never experienced foot pain like I am experiencing now... Walking is so painful that every night hubby asks, how far do you want to walk and my reply is, how long do you want to rub my feet? When I get home I always elevate my feet and do everything I can to ease the discomfort and swelling, but nothing seems to work.
Between the heat and my feet, I'm beginning to feel a bit like a prisoner... Baby jail.
