Do you know what a clubfoot is?
A family member of mine has a clubfoot. The medical
description of a clubfoot is Clubfoot
is a condition in which one or both feet are twisted into an abnormal position
at birth. The condition is also known as talipes or talipes equinovarus. (you can find other definitions at http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/clubfoot
).
There are different
levels of severity a clubfoot or clubfeet.
Minor clubfoot:
Severe clubfoot:
My family member
happens to have a severe clubfoot. She was put in a cast the day she was born.
When she was 6 weeks old she had her first surgery. In total, to this day she
has had 8 surgeries.
In a lot of ways I
feel really bad for her but I have to remember that there are people out there
that have it worse then her. She is always has an optimistic attitude and
that’s what I admire her for.
