You are totally inspirational. I just have garden variety plantar fasciitis and was feeling mopey at my upcoming honeymoon trip to the Natural History museum at the Smithsonian. But wow, you're pretty amazing and I figure that if you can find ways around your foot problem and even consider your limits and figure out how to work with them, then I can put up with some pain to see some dinosaur bones and some rocks. I am grateful that I can stuff my shoes with all kinds of supports and cushions, massage them with a tennis ball, and heat/ice them into compliance.

I wish that your feet could be treated as easily. But I'm glad that you are able to see around corners and find solutions.
