But I'm so happy that it relieved your pain and changed your life. Judging by your posts, you seem to get more glowingly beautiful every day, so I'll be wanting that formula for the fountain of youth ASAP, Sweetie.The Goodwill Fangirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845712888337339929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-31788560318024604622011-02-14T09:59:34.435+00:002011-02-14T09:59:34.435+00:00o Vix thank you for sending me this link i cryed r...o Vix thank you for sending me this link i cryed reading it it brought all mine back to me and i would never want someone to go through the same pain that i went through. Bloody doctors if they ahd only listened to my mum when she said i was walking funny they would have picked it up sooner rather than at 18 months. I to had my shoes built up but i still can't wear heels during the day only at night, or im left in pain for days. I have neve met another person who suffered the same and its refreshing in one sense to be intouch with you. You look amazing and your pain thesh hold is huge ;-) Love and hugs dee xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01807783495138462705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-3438099273657269472011-01-18T14:54:55.675+00:002011-01-18T14:54:55.675+00:00You are an incredible woman Vix.

A role model, an inspiration and a font of positivity. You should be getting accolades on a world scale... and this is why I loathe such things as the Golden Globes and Oscars. Self congratulatory pap, awarding mortals Godlike status based on the fact that pretend to be other people for a living.<br /><br />People like you... you should be celebrated. This is why I love blogging. <br />You should be famous not for the sake of fame but to be acknowledged for your one of a kind self... and blogging has given the world the pleasure of knowing you.<br /><br />Gosh I hope I'm making sense! It's 2am here. So if I'm not blame lack of sleep, have to be up at 7 again!<br /><br />You've made it sound like a walk in the park albeit a slow one :)... but hip surgery aint hip at all! <br /><br />I am proud to know you.Duskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16886762964734400403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-23021464850437704562011-01-10T06:04:32.660+00:002011-01-10T06:04:32.660+00:00I feel tearful reading that post.

You never stop being grateful do you? I think people expect you to forget but you don't and everyday you breath a sigh of relief that everthing's alright now. <br /><br />I am also proud of my scars. I imagined I'd hate them as I'm quite figure proud, but they remind me of how far I've come.<br /><br />I have quite a huge admiration for you already and this just adds to it. OMG I sound like a weirdo fan!!! :-) xxLot tiehttp://www.lottieloves.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-56020375842768181892011-01-09T09:28:37.443+00:002011-01-09T09:28:37.443+00:00You're such a beautiful person !

I cannot believe you had to go through all that for so many years until they finally diagnosed it. I am afraid the NHS can be so hit and miss. I have been sent around surgeons for the last few months as my GP was convinced I had carpal tunnel, I finally got them to refer me to a rheumatologist and who finally recognised I have a form of inflamatory arthritis. Your words rang so true when you say you were convinced everyone else was more in need of help than yourself. But the thing that touched me most was the shoes, as ridiculous as it sounds. I try and push my pain to the back of my mind and very few people even know I am suffering but the other day I got dresses and put on my heels and just the thought of walking a few steps in them, I couldnt bear it as my knees were so bad that day. But that is when I realised I really cannot pretent this isnt happening, that it is effecting my life. So thank you for writing this post it really spurred me on, I will not be defeated in the heel wearing xxxPearl Westwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00310931556911601009noreply@blogger.com
