I want to go on vacation

Planning a vacation may feel like one of the most impossible things while having Clubfoot. No matter what if you want to be able to survive throughout the day you most likely have to make a perfect walking schedule. Planning a schedule and what you are doing is the best way to make your negatives into positives. You also might consider wheelchair access. For me personally, if I am on my feet for more than an hour or two, they hurt and tighten up to the point where I can’t move. Another issue is needing walking breaks and generally being in pain. When you are with others It’s hard to find acquaintances being able to understand. There will be times where you may feel like a burden when (needing) walking breaks and (needing) to follow a walking schedule. People sometimes don’t understand and want you to just deal with it. What they don’t know or sometimes even care about is how you may need to ice your feet, can’t walk the next day, and your shoes or braces rubbing on your skin causing cuts. When I want to plan a vacation or when someone invites me to one or even a day trip. No matter how much I want to enjoy my vacation my first thought is…. Am I going to be able to handle the pain being on my feet? #NoOneWalksAlone
