    I’m very homesick, I miss you both very much. If I live to come home, I will never take anything for granted anymore. Life in the in the trenches has become dreadful.

I was told previously by my foot doctor that I have functional equinus, and was given orthotics to wear in my shoes. Functional equinus is when you do not properly rotate your ankle for movement so the orthotic was supposed to help encourage…

    26 bones, 33 joints and just over 120 muscles, our feet are a pretty small part of the body but are the very thing that moves it around, so why do we not concern ourselves more with the consequences of damaging our feet with poorly fitted shoes?
