My intention was to go to the Fair to have a good time and take photos and videos to share here.
I could not.
My right foot and ankle was hurting so much that I could go. I was afraid that everything I had to walk there would make me worse. So I missed it this year.
I hope that next year I can go and share what happens when I'm there.

Howdy sir jiirizarry! Very interesting indeed and it looks like a great times as well. What is wrong with your ankle and foot?
Hello Mr. janton! I developed Charcot foot syndrome due to diabetes and diabetic neuropathy. It weakens the muscles in the area which can cause the bones to deform, fracture, or break. I ended up with several fractures in the foot and ankle. I now have a hardware stores supply of screws and rods in the right leg and I have to use a crow boot for life.

oh no! ouch, that all sounds very painful! Do you have to take medication for the pain too? What is a crow boot?
It is. I can take pain medication when needed but I usually just bear with it and try to move the least possible when it flares up.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.
Because you don't want to get addicted to the pain medication?
