A Long Battle with Bunions: My Journey to Treating My Father’s Foot Problem

One day, a certain month, today I consulted a specialist about a problem with my father’s left foot, which had a bunion.
It was my father who knocked on the doors of a specialist in joints, especially those related to feet and hands, located on the outskirts of Paris.
I rang the doorbell, and after a while, a large, unshaven teacher appeared.
His eyebrows were furrowed together, giving him the strong look of someone who was an advisor to the judo club, but in reality, he wasn’t.
“Hello, Ninghao?”
He asked me this out of the blue, so I said hello.
I was shown to the waiting room, and after waiting for 15 minutes, I heard a lot of banging and noises, as if someone was giving instructions to the patient in front of me. I can hear things like oh and oh.
It felt like I was undergoing some kind of terrible treatment.
“Oh, oh, there you are!”
There was a voice that sounded like a scream, and then everything fell silent. Presently, an elderly madam came out limping from her position.
“Thank you, doctor. I feel better.”
Then Madame, unusually, asked the doctor to shake his hand. At that moment, her teacher’s face turned into a big smile, and she told him to take care of her.
Onigawara turned to his father, thinking that this person might not be so bad.
“Next time, hello.”
said.
I followed the teacher.
“Sit there.”
Mr. Onigawara sat at his desk and looked at my reservation form.
“Tsuji hitonari”
Being quick, I took off my shoes and socks.
「oui」
“How do you say oui in Japanese?”
“yes”
“Yes Yes Yes”
Now that I understand…Okay, let’s go check it out. lol.

*This mysterious mannequin in the waiting room was impressive. This is it, I thought, and took a photo.

That’s when the medical examination began.
My legs were grabbed and I was messed with.
I even stepped into a strange machine.
“Uhmm”
“It’s a bunion, right? Doctor.”
“Goodbye, it’s a bunion, but the cause is genetic.”
“Heredity”
“I’m a rocker, so I’ve always worn boots a lot. Isn’t that why?”
“It’s hereditary. Stand up and look in front of the mirror. Now, get naked and we’ll take a picture of you. Take off your top. Also, take off your pants.”
I put on my underwear and took a photo. She was almost completely naked.
The teacher went behind him and secretly filmed him using his cell phone. Wow, I’m curious. No way.
However, when Dad was shown the photo, he almost fell over his head.
“Look, my right shoulder is 5 centimeters lower.”
“Five centimeters?”
“Not only that, but the center of your spine, look here, is curved. This spine is congenital. Your right leg is five centimeters longer than your left. You’re a singer, right? Can you sing well in this condition?”
“Yes, I can produce four octaves.”
“Then there’s no problem.”
“Can genetics be cured?”
“No, you can’t go against your genetics. Thanks to your genetics, you may have been able to become a singer. No one can go against genetics. I’m sure your unique voice is also influenced by your genetics. There must be. My shoulders, spine, jaw, and throat are distorted. My vocal cords may also be distorted and I got this voice. Yes, yes, yes. But, there will be no problems in my future life. So… Let’s just heal the leg.”
“Yes. How?”
“What is the opposite of yes?”
“no”
“No. Okay. Do you want to go?”
“It’s iie.”
It was a slightly unusual Onigawara that took note of it. Yes, please treat me.

“Doctor, do I have to have surgery?”
The doctor thought about it for a while, then asked me if I wanted to do the surgery. he asked.
“no”
“Oh, no, you’re using it here. No, yes, no.”
I thought it didn’t matter, but maybe this person has a language fetish.
“It will take some time, but there is a way to correct your foot little by little, so let’s do it.I will make a handmade support device that fits your foot.And I will also make the sole of your shoe.Listen, lend me your foot.” Look.”
I handed my left leg to the teacher again.
The teacher pressed the sole of his foot. I clenched my fist just behind the top of his foot and gave it a jerk.
Oh my, my feet arched and followed.
“You have flat feet, so you have to push here and arch the top of your foot. All the bones are flat and sticky. Listen, I’m going to turn your body into the back of both your left and right feet. , it’s supported by only four points.This won’t cure the bunion.In addition to curing the bunion, the bones of the foot need to be brought together like a normal person.From today, for a while, my bunion will not be cured. Let’s have him go to a doctor and get his foot back on track. We’ll see how it goes before deciding on surgery. It’s going to be a long battle, but we’ll do our best.”
“yes”
“Yes Yes Yes”
The teacher’s face, which looked like an onigawa tile, broke out into a big smile.
So I decided not to have surgery right away.
What shocked me was that my spine, shoulder position, and legs were surprisingly distorted.
Following the doctor’s instructions, the battle to cure the bunion begins.
Professor, it was an honor to meet you.
“Yeah. That’s me too. I’m waiting for my next visit.”
“yes!”
I also shook hands with the teacher and left. He was a good teacher.

*This way, when you look at it from the front, it doesn’t look like your body is distorted, but…this is a photo of your back taken from behind, and it is distorted. terrible···.

to be continued.

Thank you for reading today.
A long battle with bunions begins, but the cause seems to be genetic. His body was quite distorted. The doctor has promised that he will be back to normal footing within the next year, so I will do my best and focus on the treatment. I’m glad I consulted a doctor. Thank you, Mr. Onigawara.
