Hi Texas Geek:

How are you doing today??

Just saw your edit about sandals.

Alan has never worn sandals in his entire life. These really are so comfortable.

I now have a big bag full of useless shoes that Alan will not let me throw away. Why guys have to keep shoes (I thought us gals were bad), but pulleeeeze!!!!

He says "don't get rid of those, I might need them someday"

I am putting them away. If he doesn't look at these shoes in 3 months, I'll be ditching them. He cannot wear any of his old shoes with his newer orthotics and the purpose is to keep the ulcer from coming back.

We actually might be able to go for a walk outside tonight. Won't that be something new??? Been married 27 years and his feet are now a walkin!!!!!

I hope this ulcer stays gone.

But I'm prepared. You never know. It was there for 18 months.

Keeping everything crossed.

Oh, I have a question if anyone knows the answer to.

Alan has a tailor bunion. He might need surgery. I have no idea. We will talk this over with the new guy in two weeks.

Now he had the other tailor bunion done 4 years ago. He had to be off his foot for 6 weeks, (only to go to bathroom and to bed).

I had to wait on him hand and foot.

If he has the other bunion done, will he be able to utilize the new boot and walk around?? God, that would be so great.

Anybody know what they do now with tailor bunions? Or is it the same story?? Off of the feet for 6 weeks.
