Best Foot Pic EVER!

Now this is just about the best image of a foot I've seen yet.

What is life like after Brachy, emotionally? I'm so glad you asked! Well, I don't feel as though something has been ADDED to my life. I feel like something has been TAKEN from it. There is an absence of concern for my feet. I no longer have to think about it. Don't have to plan to hide them. Don't have to worry of exposure, etc. 

I was reminded of this when I was house hunting last week. It was raining, and when I opened the door to this home I saw the nice carpet so I flung off my muddy flip-flops on the outside stoop. I walked in and started talking to the home owner. Inside of me I stopped and realized my toes were enjoying the nice carpet and I wasn't trying to hide my feet. I was smiling ear to ear.

Truth is, without my surgery I would have planned my day when I got dressed. I would have been forced to wear sneakers with socks. So that if I had to remove my shoes in a home my socks would back me up. I'm freed not to have to do that in the morning when I get dressed. Praise God.
 

Another little something. (I discovered this 10 years ago when I started venturing to wear open shoes.) The skin of your feet will be much dryer. Brachyers who wear closed shoes all the time usually have suppler skin on their feet because they are not exposed to the elements.

So if you decide to start wearing flip-flops, with or without surgery, expect to have to pay much more attention to the care of your feet. More time and more money to keep your skin in good condition. It may seem to you like a small price to pay, but don't say I didn't tell you. ;o)

All I wear now is flip-flops. I have to scrub my feet everyday now. I use to scrub them before, but if I missed a day it was no big deal. Now I can't do that. With flip-flops your feet get real dirty and real dry. Constant maintenance. I don't mind though. ;0)

Tootles!
