My medical life, Marfs, and where I am today.

Well, almost 28.5 years into life, I've had an interesting, if not good ride thus far. When I was 3, I had severe nearsightedness.

The problem with my foot has been going on for the past few years, however, this year it's gone from bad to worse. I have tried all of the conservative routes (PT, orthotics, etc.), knowing that surgery would definitely be the last resort for me.
