No...Doctor...Not My Stilletos!

I am "obsessed" with high heels.

It doesn't matter if they are a sleek pump,  a sexy sandal, or a chic pair of boots. I love them all!

From my high school days, through my college years, I only wore heels.

Maybe it was psychological because when I wore heels, I felt confident... and sexy... which put a glide

in my stride.

For nearly thirty years, I put my feet on stilths, not realizing the consequences of my actions would

some day catch up with me.

One day, I was seated at my desk.

Suddenly, I felt a tremendous amount of pain that shot up my left leg. The intensity of the pain nearly

had me in tears. It came out of nowhere.

It lasted for a few seconds...boy... how it brought me to my knees.

When I went to the doctor, she examined my leg, and asked a few questions.

She smiled and said, "Invest in a good pair of flat shoes".

Simple as that. 

In my mind, it wasn't that simple. However, it really came down to one thing, pain.

Did I want to continue to look really cute in my stilletos, or did I want to

consider the health factor.

It was a bitter pill to swallow and a fact of life.

In my teens, I was able to wear heels day in and day out.

Now, that I'm almost approaching the big 5-0, I have to learn I can't do

what I use to do.

I've accepted my new reality. I have taken the doctor's recommendation, 

and invested in a couple pair of flat shoes, along with a couple pairs of

sneakers.

Now... what am I going to do with all of my high heels?

Wear them!

If I take good care of my feet...my feet will continue to take care of me.

I don't have the shooting pain anymore, because I'm not in my stilletos as much.

I've gone from wearing heels every day to once or twice a month.

It works for me!
