feet and hands

[Guest guest]

Hi all. I was reading about the feet and hands

stories and thought I would add my own two cents. I

had hammer toes when I was born. Around the age of 20

a podiatrist I was seeing operated on them. Some of

the things he did was to cut some tendons to release

the toes and remove some small bones that were

mangled. He also said that I didn't have the full

compliment of bones in my feet. The operation helped

insofar as I don't have to walk on my bent over toes.

The way I walk is that I sort lean toward the outside

edges. I remember as a kid that I used to wear down

the heels of my shoes on the outside edges. When I was

in highschool, some insensitive clods used to walk

behind me a " quack " like a duck implying that that was

they way I appeared to them. Needless to say, that my

years in highschool weren/t among my favorite. I do

not miss seeing anyone from highschool and I have

never gone to a reunion even though my 30th was two

years ago. The last year or so, my hands have been

paining me quite a bit. What is kind of funny or wierd

is several times a day my index finger feels like I

have stuck my finger into an electric socket or I have

been hit by a small bolt of lightning !!!??? Sometimes

I feel it when I am touching something and sometimes

not. Anybody else have this? Great comments from

everyone as usual.
