Laurieheels Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Hi I haven't been on for 2.5 years. Apparenly there's still some remnant of my time here. Well, I figured I should at least say hello. About 17 months ago I sprained my ankle, and while I have healed, wearing heels isn't as easy. So I have to keep it to four inches or less. Sad, I know. I posted some shoes for sale, maybe someone wants a bit of history. It's funny, I haven't been around for so long but there are recent private messages sent to me from people. It's nice to be remembered I suppose. I am not sure I'll get to visit a lot, and hey, without my body's old super power of wearing sky scraping stilettos, I don't even feel like I'll fit in. But at least it is nice to visit and remember some fun times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurieheels Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 Gee, popularity. How unexpected. But familiar names, friendly faces, or avatars anyway, so, it might be worth peeking in here and there. But come on, I used to tower in six inchers and stand with straight legs, there has to be some strange thought on the loss of that, especially around here. I push myself, I know, and as much as I could probably push past the discomfort and stretch myself into my old goddess shape, well... I fear four inch heels will be it for me, and even then I know I need to train back to it for outdoor wear. Work is easy, there are escalators. I'll make sure I don't wait another 2.5 years before posting again. How's that? And Hoverfly gets a smack for the sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom-NL Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Well hello Laurie! Nice to see you here again, although what has happened to your ankle is less than nice. It would be great to have you posting again here - like Richie already said: you're fun to have around. Take care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azraelle Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Greets, Laurie. I haven't been around for awhile either. Just stopped by to see if I could link the comments of a certain member to another forum (femalefirst.co.uk to be exact) and low and behold, he's apparently been banned!

You are very welcome to be back with us again. There are broken ankles and there are BROKEN ANKLES. Check out the "FYI-I'll be back shortly" thread, under Hellos and Goodbyes. Glad you are back.

Laurieheels Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 Hi Dawn! Well, back is a relative term I suppose. I had my chiropractor check my ankle today when I went for my adjustment since it has been some time since anyone looked at it. He told me to max out my heels at two inches. I do kind of walk to the right instead of in a straight line at times, because my ankle is weak, thus, not supportive enough the more I strain it with a higher heel. He'll check again over the next few months and we'll see just how well it is healing. But I have been told it may take some time because of the scar tissue the sprain caused. He did a pretty good adjustment on it which should help, but there's no prediction of an if I can properly wear higher heels again, let alone when. So the occassional jaunt for a four inch heel, okay, but I'll need to go easy. I trust the guy, he has really helped my neck problems, so for now I don't see any reason to ignore his advice on this. Ah well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Hi Laurie Well you know I think 4 inches once in a while is fine. It's more than most people manage. It's all I manage nowadays anyway, I am playing too much sport I think. I never do like seeing the very high ones anyway. They are kind of out of proportion. I know there are many who would disagree, especially here, but I can't help being practical. Hope your ankle goes from strnght to strength!

skylined Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Hello Laurie, I haven't been on here for a while, but got a really nice surprise to see you posting again!!! I did start a thread here about a year ago, being concerned about your disappearance - please stay with us this time.... when you get the chance!!! Hope your writing is all going well too. I like seeing four inch heels. They may not be the highest when using a high heel forum as a baseline to compare to, but lets face it, four inch heels are very high in the real world, and three to four inchers about normal for girls who wear them to work all day every day. Here in Scotland, five inch heels are about the highest that's worn out and about. My opinion is that anything above five inches look less classy (and sexy) anyway. I hope your ankle continues to improve and that you'll get back into four inch heels every day sometime in the not to distant! Why not make a compromise for now between your doc's advice and your current max - wear three inch heels??! Believe me you would look amazing in them!!!! Thanks again Laurie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
