Tortured . . .

I'm being tortured.     For some reason, the television is filled with advertisements, close-up shots, and discussions about shoes . . . yes, I said . . . SHOES!

I admit it -- I love shoes . . . I have always loved shoes . . . at one point in time, I had over one hundred and fifty pairs of shoes.     And, this wasn't just a pile of cheap shoes -- these were designer shoes . . . snakeskins, alligator . . . high-heels, medium heels, low-heels, flats.     I really LOVED my shoes!

Over time, I realized it was a dangerous obsession, as I could not go to a mall without buying one or two pairs of shoes – dropping $100 - $200 at a pop.     As you can see, this was an unhealthy obsession.     It was a hard habit to break but, over time, I conquered my addition to buying shoes.

It doesn't mean I stopped loving shoes.

I still love shoes.

And, that is what is making all of this saturation on television so difficult to watch.     What happens when the cast comes off?     What happens after physical therapy?     Will I be able to walk like I did before?     Will I be left with a limp?     Will I be able to put on any pair of shoes?     Will this horrific scar fade away?     What happens if I can't wear anything but sneakers?     I don't think sneakers will look appropriate with most of my wardrobe.

I still have a little over another month in this cast.     And, crutches and a wheelchair are truly a royal pain in the *ss.     I can't even leave my house without help because every entrance to my house is at least one flight of stairs.     I always wanted to be put up on a pedestal but, . . . I don't think this was what I had in mind . . .

Okay, sorry . . . I'll stop the pity-party (or, at least I'll try).
