Today, after Sonya left, my Mom and I were talking about shoes. It seems like I am a far cry away from shelltoes and wearing chucks seems like a lifetime ago! I saw an internist before my feet became a problem and she asked me why I even wore shoes. I was kind of offended by that question and thought because I am a human being and everyone wears shoes. But, thinking about it now, since the problems with my feet started in April, the only time I wear shoes is when I leave my house. Currently, I am not even wearing my compression socks. These wounds need to heal first!!!
I had talked with Sean and my Mom about Crocs a few months ago. `I was quite reluctant to entertain this idea but at this point, it’s worth a try. I searched for them a while ago and now I received emails all the time. I showed the shoe I am thinking about and she asked if it gives. My current shoes are having a problem allowing my foot to slide in easily which causes my heel to hurt on both feet. As my Mom was describing putting my feet into my shoes, she looked at me and commented on seeing my, “Wince…”. She saw my wince because I DEFINITELY winced! The thought of forcing a shoe on my foot even at this point it so difficult just thinking about it!
