2010 in review
Thanks to everyone who read through my journey. I have appreciated all the comments and well wishes I have received from friends, family, and even strangers around the world. I still get comments today from people who have the same or similar injury and I’m so glad they have found, if nothing else, a little humor in a really bad situation.
Some good news: I wore high heels on New Year’s Eve! I really thought that I would never be able to wear heels again because previous attempts were too painful. I decided to give it a try for the celebration of 2011, a final attempt to rid of Joan forever. I figured if the pain was too much I had the option to sit down, or take them off. It was definitely a challenge, and I don’t see myself wearing heels every day on a regular basis, but I survived…and even danced! I was the most nervous about the effects from the following days, thinking that maybe all the stress from standing, walking, and dancing in really inappropriate footwear for someone who should wear orthotics would cause my muscles to rebel. But they didn’t! During my recovery I would complain, even to my physical therapists, that the one thing I really wanted was to wear high heels again. Everyone usually looked at me like I was crazy, as most people have simpler, more practical goals, like be able to jog again. Friends told me I should feel lucky to have an excuse to not wear heels, but the truth is I’ve always loved them and I really missed being able to spruce up a weekend outfit with a pair of simple black pumps. So although it seems like a small accomplishment, this is actually a huge milestone for me!
