Sneaky little bum foot...

Remember, when I was working out every single day! Listen, the way I have had to cut back on regular life things simply because I couldn't walk...like for real walk...has been the absolute worst. I pushed through for most of 2025 and it wasn't until I dropped a dumbbell on my foot in late September and there was no more pushing it until later. So I had a keratoma removed from my foot today after nearly a year of hobbling around and walking like Viola Davis in Fences…

I tried getting an appointment before the end of the year but there was nothing available. I pushed through per usual. January came and went and I couldn't bare it any longer and was just about to go to a different doctor when my podiatrist said he had been studying my foot over the past year and noticed that the issue with foot wasn't subsiding. He said that what I was dealing with was a porokeratoma and that I would need outpatient surgery to have it removed.

The Culprit

So this little rock like thing has literally felt like a knife stabbing me in my foot with every step that I have taken for the last six months.

Well, now it’s recovery time and my hope is that the keratoma doesn’t come back.

I can’t miss another Mardi Gras or hike because of a sneaky bum foot. I am too young, fresh, and fly for a limp and whatever they gave me just wore off because now I feel everything 😭🥹😩

I am so grateful for my daughter. She was right there with me, ready to hold my hand if I needed it. Drove me home, made sure I ate, and ensure everything was covered so I can focus on starting the recovery process.

I found joy today in knowing that once I heal from this, I will be back on my physical fitness journey to accompany this mental and spiritual fitness journey.

Keep finding joy in all things!

Love,
