Hokay folk

I’m being hauled back into the depths of Calderdale Royal so the surgeons can excavate the geological wonderland that is my kidney. The aim is to downgrade me from Brush*te crystal mine to something that behaves like an actual organ. Less sparkle. More function.

I’m clearing the backlog of calls tonight. Sunday clinic is open to mop up the overflow from a Saturday that went feral the moment I checked my voicemail.

So before I disappear into bed rest, get yourselves booked in.

This Friday, 28 November, the twilight clinic is running from 6.30 to 9.30, and there are still a few bookings up for grabs.

Saturday has space from 11.30 and a couple of spots later in the afternoon.

Sunday?
I will be wrapped in a cocoon.
I’m not open.
I could be… but the universe has kindly granted me a free day and I’m not about to argue with cosmic mercy.... Watch this space for a Sunday overflow clinic -_-

It’s freezing, and despite my noble attempts to cocoon myself in a small dark room like a seasonal hermit, Saturday is fully booked.
So out into the cold I must go.

To soften the blow of my own overcommitment, I’m running an overflow clinic this Sunday on a gently paced schedule that even includes a lunch break.
(Tomorrow me will not thank me.)

Sub-zero is upon us.
If your feet are suffering for it, come get them sorted.

Valley Road Podiatry will be closed tomorrow (Sunday 16th).

Why?
Because I, your local foot goblin, forgot to turn my phone on until Wednesday and somehow manifested an entire battalion of patients… all of whom insisted on Saturday.
So Sunday?
Nope. Off limits. Y’all were too slow. I have plans.

If you need me tomorrow, I’ll be in my rocking chair, listening to Maria Callas, contemplating which lethargic activity to grace the universe with next.

Upcoming clinic slots:
• Friday evening from 6.30
• Saturday
• Sunday

Cold out there.
What are you all doing to stay warm, besides forgetting to turn your phones on and overbooking your entire life?

❄️ Winter feet, Hebden heartbeat ❄️

Saturday’s diary? Locked down, laced up, fully booked.
Sunday? I’ve got a couple of spots for the early birds, the hobblers, and the “my walking boots have betrayed me” brigade.

If your winter mileage is ramping up with moors, mud, grit, frost, your feet are doing the heavy lifting.
Blisters, heel pain, ingrowing nails, boots chewing your toes?
Get in before the snow does.

Valley Road Podiatry is Hebden Bridge’s cosy little clinic for winter-proof feet.
Book in, warm up, walk out sorted.

🌊 Blustery, Biblical, and Barely Walkable

Not sure if the most appropriate mode of transport out the front door today is the car or a motorised rubber dinghy.
It’s giving tsunami with a side of Yorkshire drizzle.
The ducks are concerned. I am concerned. The river is... thinking about it.

Which brings me to this:

🦶 We offer a home visiting service
For those who are temporarily or permanently housebound, we’ll come to you. No extra charge.
Storm or not, your feet still deserve care.

💷 We also offer a 10% discount
If you're in receipt of financial support related to your health, this applies to all routine care.

📅 Appointments are limited, but we will always try to prioritise those who might otherwise struggle to access the service.

Anyhoo. I’m going back to staring out the window with ominous anticipation and a mug of tea.
Think dry thoughts, folk.

🏥 Silence, Stones, and the Great Renal Drama

If you’ve messaged, called, or sent smoke signals over the past two weeks and received nothing but silence, I see you. I’m catching up. I promise.

The radio silence wasn’t intentional.
I’ve been recovering from two major surgeries for kidney stones, back to back, and very much not for fun.

Apparently, my body decided to start producing brush*te crystals of pure chaos,
sharp enough to bring down a rhino and dramatic enough to derail a fortnight.
A brush*te stone gathers no moss, but it will gather a surgical team, three cannulas, and an audience that nobody wanted or asked for.

So yes.
I’m emerging slowly from the rubble of NHS gowns, post-op fog, and analgesia-laced epiphanies, whilst working through a mountain of enquiries.

💬 If you're waiting to hear from me, thank you. I am clawing my way back to inbox sanity one message at a time.

💳 Yes, We Take Card. I Know. Growth.

It’s been over a year since Valley Road Podiatry opened its strange little doors, and despite my ongoing emotional resistance to card machines, contactless and card payments are now accepted where required.

Small business. Big feelings. But we adapt.

🕰 Clinic Hours (Temporary Edition):

Friday — 6:15pm to 9pm
Saturday — 10am to 4pm
Sunday — 11am to 2pm

This slightly limited schedule is temporary while I ease into a new clinical role out in the wilds of public health (pray for me).

A more normal-ish rhythm shall return soon…..unless I ascend to the celestial plane of burnout first.

⛪️ The Convalesced : Stones of Fury

Apologies if you tried to reach me last week and got radio silence.

The clinic was closed, not from neglect, but because this q***r temple required an emergency ritual of surgery and excellent pain meds 👌-
a.k.a. surgery for kidney stones.

Apparently, my body now crafts jagged gemstones of agony.
The hymns were screams. The incense was Entonox.
The offering? Several litres of IV fluid and a fresh batch of trauma.

Anyway.. I’m back. The altar is cleansed. The wax bath is warm.
Appointments are available this weekend:

📣 A Little Announcement from the Clinic Floor

One of the driving forces behind the way care is offered at Valley Road Podiatry is elbows-deep immersion in public health and the very real understanding it gives a person, in what's actually happening in the field.

Over the next 6 weeks, I’ll be transitioning into a new role as I take the next step in specialising further within the world of lower limb health.
A new chapter, same mission: evidence-based, person-centred care for the foundation you walk upon.

🌿 The clinic will remain open during this time, but appointments will be limited to:

Friday evenings

Saturdays (daytime)

Sundays (daytime)

Once the transition is complete, a more usual schedule will return.
That is, unless I vanish to a warm island to lie face down for a week and recover from the paperwork and need to be tempted back with confectionary, baked goods and a promise of returning warm weather (not about this early Autmn feel tbf).

Thank you all for your ongoing support.
Your feet, your stories, and your joy keep this place walking.

🏃‍♂️ Jogging — Our Guilty Pleasure

Not something we're always built for.
It places a heck of a lot of stress on our feet.

This stress can quietly manifest as

wear and tear

creeping arthritis

and that familiar ache we try to outrun.

Let’s do it properly.

---

🧱 Resistance

Build the structure before you test the impact.
Muscle protects joints. Strength gives you longevity.

🥗 Diet

Your body is a machine.
It won’t run on empty calories and good intentions.
Even when cutting for weight loss, you must restore what you deplete.

👟 Footwear

The soles are your suspension.
They should support, cushion and fit your path.
Adequate in every dimension so you can move with rhythm and ease.

---

⚠️ Choose your path wisely, traveller

The road is harsh.
The well-meaning path taken in darkness may lead you off a cliff without warning.

---

👁️ A Watcher’s Eye

"Am I doing this right?"
A question we rarely speak aloud,
Yet the body answers it for us when the knees grind and arches protest.

That’s where podiatry steps in.
Musculoskeletal care. Running clinic. Functional analysis.
We protect the temple. We honour the journey.

☁️ Wednesday 23rd July
It’s overcast, which makes it an excellent day to take a break from hill-walking and mud larkin (yes, that joyful pursuit of hurling yourself into rivers to fish out broken pottery and vague trauma).

There are still a few appointments available this afternoon so, if your feet are in need, the clinic remains open, efficient, and adequately zen for a weekday.

🌈 Heads up for the weekend:
The clinic will be closed this Sunday because these rainbow-clad tootsies are strutting out to Pride. I'll be open on Saturday but don't be alarmed if the clinic is clad in feathers and disco balls.

If anyone’s looking for me, I’ll be frolicking in the fields, carried aloft by lovers, belting Jimmy Somerville under a cloud of glitter and vibes.

Clinical duties resume Monday. Joy persists.

📞 Message to book before the glitter sets in.
