The author of this article is very wise. Women today are having foot surgery so they can make their feet smaller to fit fancy high heel shoes. http://www.newsandstar.co.uk/opinion/write_stuff/1.135736
Yes, I like stilletos but to walk around them all day will cause your feet to ache, not to mention the hammertoes and corns that can develop. Foot surgery is successful but only if you need it. The foot is like a 1957 Chevy. It might be a little rusty on the outside but as long as the motor is working then it can take you places. Feet are for ambulating and maintaining balance. Treat them well and they will take you places you have never dreamed of. For more info on foot care or a free book on foot problems go to: www.stopfootpainfast.com

Naming Oprah's bunion
I heard that Oprah has one big bunion and the Calgary Herald is having a contest to name it. Go to:
http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald/news/entertainment/story.html?id=d849e171-812b-4944-a77d-18867cf48a62.
I like the Color Purple choice myself. Painful bunions really don't get purple but do get red and mean looking. Here is the biggest misconception about bunions-surgery for them is not usually painful. Why do people then complain that the surgery was painful? One reason is that they are probably on it too long after the surgery. Pain is usually from too much swelling and if the surgeon is not delicate with the tissues and if the patient walks around on it too much, then swelling will occur and the patient will be in pain.
I recommend three days of rest and take a good anti-inflammatory medication. After that, with most bunion surgery, the patient can resume regular activities (not running or jumping of course). Go to: http://www.stopfootpainfast.com/1_bunions.php to get more information.
Don't walk around with a bunion soooooo big that someone wants to name it!
