Shoes off was always a rule in my home... I am a neat freak and the last thing I needed was to have my house all messed up by someone's shoes. I completely respect and appreciate this rule in other people's homes. I recently attended a party where we had to take our shoes off... my time at the party was minimal, my foot just can't do shoes off on a cold floor.
So now, I am a leave your shoes on kind of girl... CRPS can do that to a person. I don't even think twice about someone having their shoes on in my home or even myself wearing shoes around my home. More often than not if you stop by, you will see me with shoes on.
I am now 5 injections in... with no idea how many more will come and how many more will work. I live my life with minimal pain 2.5 months at a time. I never know if my next injection is the last. It has gotten easier. I have a plan, albeit temporary, I relish the moments of little pain and I don't take that time for granted. I still have moments of frustration but they are fewer and further between. But the part I love the most is that few minutes right before the injection... when all I feel is excitement and hope.
And one thing I have learned, is bring slippers to other peoples' homes.
