Ep12 The Talipes Tales

Born different, it isn't something you often hear but it is a reality I live with. You might be thinking this is so difficult or so hard for me, you might be pitying me. But here is the thing - I don't want or  need your pity no matter how well meant nor do any of the other millions of people living with a chronic condition. What we would like, no what we need is a level playing field where we can get on with life.
