Expelled
I got kicked out of physical therapy yesterday. Failure to progress. My toe has refused to meet the minimum standards of joint movement. It flunked. It is doomed to a deadend job at minimum wage with no benefits.
Ooooh, tough break for us competitive academic types! Failure is not in our vocab! We are the Good, the Obedient, the Compliant! Does that mean you won't ever walk comfortably? My bunionectomy (horrible word) was one year ago, and I'm just now starting to regain flexibility in the big toe. Do tell of any good shoe options!
Ooh! I'm so glad to hear it's taken so long for you! (I know, I know, totally selfish of me.)So maybe there's still hope (despite my physical therapist's lack of faith in my toe's potential).
