Linsey shows bravery. Linsey and I met earlier this year with what we thought was a common foot problem, Morton's neuroma for over 10+ years.
However, later it was diagnosed to be a Cutaneous Metaplastic Synovial Cyst. Whaaaaa? That's what we all said. Good news was that it's benign and not a health threat. She is progressing as expected and has no regrets in having it removed. As a military wife she is devoted to her husband as her country and I'm proud to help her.

Anthony is my hero. He is a young vet that served our country in Iraq. 
He suffers from flatfeet his whole life and elected to have one foot reconstructed. After the first week, he surprisingly took only one pill of pain medication and currently not in pain. We are progressing quickly and are both excited to see his new foot. He has given me permission to document his journey.
We also made history, I was the first to do a flatfoot reconstructive surgery in Sharp Coronado.
Proud of you Anthony!
