oh dear millie, I have problems with my achilles tendons too, tramping about in mud and on uneven ground doesn't help
went to visit a friend in bury st eds today, am shit company and couldn't keep self upright and just kept lying down all over her house until we went for a walk which culminated in a visit to a pub where she bought us lunch and during course of conversation said 'I remember when you were Really Thin, do you remember that?' 
in some ways I think I wouldn't mind going to live in a mental hospital for a while and just sleeping for a few days
