How it all began!!!!

I know what you're thinking, what happened to you? Here's it is!!

Having flat feet is no picnic, especially when your job involves a lot of walking, climbing ladders, carrying tools, etc, etc. With that being said, I had one foot that was driving me up the wall!!! You wanna talk about painful!!! This wee little doggy was ruffling my feathers. Sorry, I always wanted to say that. Walking and standing were very painful. I tried a bunch of shoes, so called arch supports, and I even had a couple of  CORTISONE SHOTS. 

Let me speak on the shots for a moment. One, they hurt, because the needle is as long as a ruler, plus all that NEEDLE RULER, has to go in for the medicine to reach the affected area. Did I mention the size of the needle yet?  Lol!!!! My second visit was my most memorable!!!  I had to take my daughter with me, and at that time she was about 3 I believe. We're in the office and I get called up to get my  corty shot and boy am I ever pumped, NOT!!! The doctor pulls out his ruler and proceeds with the drilling, I mean injection,  and tries to push in the needle, but somethings WRONG!!  So he kept pushing and pulling for a few moments, and it finally dawned on him, somethings wrong. To myself I said well, was it my loud groans or the waterfall of sweat pouring down my face that gave it away? People, the doctor said, "that's funny, the needle has no hole, it's clogged. I guess I have to get another needle". Wow, are you serious? Who has ever had that happen before? Good times. By the way, that was my last corty shot.

That relief was short lived, but not the memory, and eventually the pain came back with a vengeance. So I had to get something done, and yes, I surely did. That decision changed our life forever!!!!
