A quick note to the 'why?'

There are some important truths that should be laid out.

-This injury/condition and subsequent removal of the fibular sesamoid is not like removing an appendix. The sesamoid and metatarsal joint are vital the the mechanics of a healthy and normal foot.

-As a dancer/mover/athlete, this surgery will forever alter my performance capabilities.

-But without the surgery I can't walk.

-This has changed how I feel about/view my body and will change how I define myself as a performer.

These are the truths I have the hardest time accepting.
