- I can walk, it's painful but I am able to walk. A paraplegic would probably happily take my feet.
- My feet haven't completely quit on me even though I'm forcing them to carry about 15 -20 extra pounds.
- In this weakness, I am humbled and drawn closer to God and His strength.
- I have compassion on others who I see walking with a limp.
- I save lots of money on all the shoes I don't buy. Before I had these problems with my feet I had lots of shoes--I love shoes. Particularly big clunky ones (family--remember my black shoes that were repaired with shoe goo that Dad gave me money--can't remember how much--to quit wearing) and loud ones (family--remember my palm tree tennis shoes?). So, now, I only have a couple of pairs of shoes I can wear. I don't even look at shoes in the store.
Lots to be thankful for!

I am glad that you are thankful. I know it is hard and that perspective is half the battle.
As for hurt feet, I am in your shoes too. Not to the degree, but you are inspiring me to do the right thing and exercise them.
Your post made me think of this scripture.
Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
It sounds like you are doing that very well.
I hate that your feet are giving you such a time. Your attitude is very inspiring.
It is all in your perspective.
What is your ACTUAL diagnoses?
Remember--Feelin' Fine in 2009!
