When I was eight, I had an ankle fusion on my right ankle because I was
seriously "pigeon-toed" (my right foot was at about a 45 degree angle to
my left, rather than being parallel).  

The operation adjusted my "toe-in," but it didn't do a thing to my
"camber!"  ;-{)}

I was in a cast for a whole summer, but it helped my balance, and helped
me to not trip over my own feet as much.  Haven't had any problems since
with it, and that was 37 years ago.

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.

-George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950

I am looking for stories to help me decide.... shold we or not.  My
little girl
can walk while you touch her but her feet cross.  They say the  only
thing that
mayu help (50/50) is to loosen up her thigh tendons.  She  is ten.
 
Good and bad stories please>>>>
