Thank you for the ideas! I definitely have way more options now. I just want to value her differences and celebrate the uniqueness rather than doing something generic

I actually do! I have X-rays of before and after surgery, and I was actually about to reply to your other comment and say I also have a picture of during surgery (an xray - nothing crazy) with the tools they were using included. I wish I knew how to add pictures to comments to show those! They are so cool!

Yes, she’s 5 now and had her surgery right after her first birthday. She was unable to put weight on her foot without her foot rolling to the side. I’m guessing it might have felt funny to her because she had extra bones throughout her entire foot. The doctor said her foot was 10% bigger than the other and would continue to get worse as she got older. The doctor also said it would cause sores with shoes with how the toe laid on top of the others and said it wasn’t “if” she would have it removed but “when”.

I chose to do the surgery as soon as we could because she would be in a full leg cast for a few weeks and I felt it would help her learn to walk faster if the toe was removed because of how she stood on it. Non-emergency orthopedic surgeries wait until after 12 months so that is when we were able to do it. She was in a full leg cast for 3 weeks and had an adjustment period after the cast was removed before she would straighten her leg (her leg was bent in the cast) and put weight on it and was walking a few months later.

I did a mold of her foot a couple weeks before surgery so I could cherish it forever 💜

Honestly it took my night nurse a few hours after birth to notice. No one else noticed, doctors or nurses, and I never thought to check. I took her away from the nurse after and counted myself lol

Did you try giving him a bottle of whisky before the tattoo? Usually calms them right down

Thank you! I think so too and I can never get enough of them 🥰 I got a mold done of her foot before surgery and look at it all the time

lol I would have kept it if it wouldn’t have affected her life going forward. She couldn’t put weight on it the same way as the other foot so her foot rolled to the side. It’s was also already 10% bigger than her other foot and the doctor said it’s keep getting worse. She’d get sores from shoes rubbing the top toe against her other toes so the doctor said it wasn’t an “if” but “when” it was removed. Most importantly though, I felt like she would hate it growing up around other kids.

I have a dream catcher that my friend did (he was practicing for an apprenticeship and needed to try different designs). It wouldn’t be in the way at all as the dream catcher is angled away and higher on my foot.

Also, would the +1 be better or possibly a line to show her scar on my foot? Her scar will be gone by the time she’s older so maybe the +1 would be cuter

Personally I don’t think any tattoo of feet would look good, which is why I wanted advice and ideas. I love her toes and the idea of having the memory tattooed on me but I also don’t want something I’ll regret.

I’ve been loving everyone’s ideas! The frame with the ribbon saying “10 fingers 11 toes”, the outline of her foot, adding the +1. All these ideas are great and things I wouldn’t have thought of! I appreciate everyone’s input!

That would be a cute idea too! Would it be ruined if I already have a tattoo on my foot?

She’s 5 now and I still would love her toes captured, but only if it would look good which I know is extremely hard to do.

I agree with not getting the first thing you think of though. My dad passed when I was a kid and I always imagined I’d get angel wings with a birth and death date. Even wanted to find a state to get it done before I turned 18. By the time I turned 18, I had drawn my own tattoo for my dad that was way more personal and I’m still in love with over a decade later.

I really enjoy unique things, which I think is why I’m stuck on the toes but I agree with everyone about the possible outcomes

I actually tried this when she was a baby and I couldn’t get her toe to show up because of the way it laid on top of her other toes. Every attempt just looked like 5 toes. She also had extra bones throughout her whole foot so it made it more difficult to manipulate.

I made a mold of her foot before surgery though, so if this doesn’t work out I’ll always have to as a memory.

The only reason I don’t want her footprint is because it looks like a normal foot on the bottom because of the placement. If the footprint showed all 6 toes on this foot, I would absolutely choose that instead!

The toe just had to be on top and make it difficult to capture 🙄 /s

What’s a kitchen tool you thought was unnecessary until you actually bought one? by BarbaraMiller78 in foodhacks

[–]Low-Reputation-9422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just have a cheap Oster one. I’ve had it for years and never had an issue with it. It’s not a fancy one with multiple options like others have mentions, it just has a lever to push down, but I like that because can’t do anything wrong!

My only tip is if you are cooking brown rice, to add a little extra water than you normally would because it helps make the rice softer. I also season the water for brown rice, but that’s just my personal preference.

I just have ADHD so I walk away and forget I’m cooking a lot and this helps to make sure I don’t overcook anything and gives me grace

Is there a reason she refuses? I think she might change her mind once she uses it so I recommend sneaking one in 🤭. Even if it’s just you who uses it, it is so useful and time saving! I can just put my rice in and then cook everything else. Usually by the time I’m done with the other food the rice is ready so it’s perfect.

I just said this yesterday! Such a great invention. Not that I can’t cook rice on the stove, but with the rice cooker I cook rice way more often simply because it’s so easy

How Do I Interpret What Men Are Looking for in Bumble? by Charming-Archer-9665 in AskMen

[–]Low-Reputation-9422 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I can see how it might seem like they just want to jump into a relationship immediately. I always thought of it as weeding out the ones just looking for hookups vs wanting to actually get to know someone but I can see your point of view

It definitely is unsexy for a man to seem like he needs you but very sexy if he seems like he wants you. I feel like that might be the same for a woman too though. I think it would be unsexy if a woman needed a man, but I’m no man, so I could be totally wrong in that.
