After my husband and I booked our first trip to Portugal in 2019, I found out that I needed extensive ankle and Achilles surgery, to be followed by weeks of convalescence and months of physical therapy.
Lisbon's calçada are not like a snot. It's not going to be a little bit viscous. Sticky even.
Most people go with ice. But then thinking ice which other people have skated on it and so it has all those grooves plus if it is a natural pond it didn't freeze smoothly.
Oh, I agree. I should clarify that my comment was a nod to a quotation from the 1990 movie "Tremors," which Pete and I have seen around two dozen times.
My brothers often said something slippery was "slicker than snot." My besties from high school still use this phrase. (I avoid it at home because my dh was raised with only sisters and abhors crass sayings. It's why my kids never laughed at fart jokes.)
I don't envy you those surgeries after experiencing my first Achilles tendon injury several months after moving to Porto. It hurt! Still not entirely recovered, even after a few weeks now.
The adaptation of finding balance makes a huge difference. I strive for this daily, but I know the frustration of it all. I hope you no longer deal with pain!

Glass. I push forward glass a consideration.

Of course. I should have picked that up. I do remember that line. Great quote, just a great quote.
I recognize that it was an obscure reference. :-)

Ugh, I literally feel your pain and hope you heal soon.

I suspect the streets are a lot like wet slickrock (the sandstone surfaces found near Moab, Utah).
