2 years ago. Bunionectomy-versary.  😂 So glad I did it. Blessed it was possible. I'll never forget my mom taking me to a podiatrist when I was in grade school and hearing the doctor explain the invasive surgery, and doing both feet at once was best to do during the summer. Well for our family resources at the time, that wasn't an option. So, then I very clearly remember the doctor saying, "then get the surgery when it hurts to walk" because I will need surgery eventually. In 2013, I started to have pain. In 2015, it hurt to stand and walk, daily. January 2016, my right foot was operated on using the invasive surgery because of how severe my bunion was to fix.

Seriously? Jeans that I wore on December 1st before my trip home (to the USA) fit me. They are my fun jeans, skinny jeans, with the little rips in front. I was really surprised that after getting home Jan 1st, I couldn't get them buttoned. Now January 7th, I have submitted my measurements to my tracker. I have a plan in place. The best solution is my support group for unconditional, no pressure accountability, inspiration, and motivation. I am not worried because I know this is temporary. Never get discouraged and never feel alone. Hugs.
