Hope it helps.
Hmmm...I see Dr Duncan on the 18th; I'll bring it up.

And wish me luck; I see Dr Casillas, rated as the best foot orthopedic surgeon in the southwest, to let him is he knows how to fix my foot (without losing the arch). He worked on my foot in 2002, but left the city for a while, I'm glad he's back, because he knows about the strange architecture of my feet.
