I had a doctor’s appointment today, nothing exciting, just my annual check up. While I was there I figured I’d ask her opinion on my foot. I know I’ve mentioned before that my right foot bothers me, but that is really a major understatement of fact. About two years ago, I noticed this pretty sizable lump on the inside of my right foot at the base of my big toe. I knew it was a bunion~how gross is that word?! I mean really, it’s one of those icky words like mucous that just should not exist. Ahh, but I digress.
Other than being hideous it wasn’t really a problem. But over the last six months it has become supremely painful. It hurts. All. Of. The. Time. Shoes don’t matter; flats, sneakers, slippers, everything hurts, even barefoot. That’s why if I do wear heels, I prefer platforms. And I never leave home without back up flats because I inevitably have to change my shoes. I favor it when I walk and always walk with a slight limp that’s really only noticeable to me. Anyway, she referred me to a foot surgeon in Pittsburgh and I have an appointment in August. I’m hoping he can give me some options that aren’t surgical (or God forbid, orthopedic shoe related, ha!) to get me through the year. If I do have to have surgery done I want to wait until next summer because I don’t want to be off work for that long.
And don’t even get me started on the fashion ramifications of six weeks of a surgical boot! Am I shallow or what?! But seriously, that will totally mess with how one puts an outfit together. Who am I kidding? You guys know I could rock that boot!
Last week when I took my baby girl shopping, I picked up a couple pairs of printed drapey shorts at Target. I figured I should branch out and step away from the denim shorts once in awhile. I also stocked up on a few of these fab tanks from Forever 21. They’re super lightweight and perfect for layering like I did here.
