I'm losing flexibility in my toes
At one time I could stick my big toe straight up with ease - now I need to strain a little to do it.

Before I could cross my toes as easily as I could cross my fingers - now my left toes still work but my right toes need a nudge.

I'm getting old. :sigh:

1. Hey, getting old is no fun, but it beats the only alternative, which is dying young.

2. My dear yvr girl...
I'm sorry sweetie...

I have never had your ability to cross toes...

Getting old is not much fun, but as Redstone says, it sure beats the alternative...

:hug:

6. How awful
Maybe a few glasses of wine and someone to massage your feet might make your tootsies feel better?

8. I don't guess you can adjust the volume knob on the stereo while
laying on the bedroom floor with your arms behind your head listening to music any more. I used to do that. My toes are talented. :evilgrin:

12. see a podiatrist
but be forewarned-seeing a podiatrist comes with it orthotics (like seeing a orthodontist comes with being sold braces)
but they do know about feet

BTW_ podiatrists are doctors in the sense that they don't go to medical school first. They have their own specific medical training (1 year)but they don't go to medical school and then choose to specialize as podiatrists.
