ORIGINAL: porcelaine I would hope anyone would be mindful of the risk and potential cost of injury. That includes loss of income, medical appointments (co-pays), physical therapy, and the long term impact of the problem. Is he compensating you? If you need help at home will he provide this or pay for a nurse to come in? Hopefully you have sick leave remaining. If not, will he cover the lost wages? In my case, the answer to all this was yes. If such a situation had arisen, he would have addressed all concerns - this was part of his Ownership of me. quote:
Individuals that engage in activities that have the possibility of going awry should educate themselves. Don't depend on the other person to know what he's doing or always present the information you need to make an informed decision. It's your body and your problem. And the bold part is where we all can agree. [;)] i do think that it's interesting that the women on this thread who have chosen to wear heels for their own fun and enjoyment haven't been chastised for being "dangerous." But when a woman chooses to obey her Master - whom she trusts - with her body, there's a need for warnings. i have hurt my knee in yoga class. i have fallen while jogging down a steep hill and almost broken my leg. Heck, i fell off a chair i was standing on at a friend's house while trying to help her rescue a gecko that became trapped inside. Physical activities involve risk. The only difference here is that i was choosing to take risk for someone else - my Master - than simply for "myself." For me, and my dynamic of absolute obedience (that results from absolute trust) i see no greater risk in wearing shoes that my Master asks, than in any other risky physical activity i might undertake. And it is a process of physical learning - for example, skiing...no one can ski on day one. Anyone can fall and break his/her leg at any time while skiing. But over time, skills improve, and greater risks can be taken - including the wearing of shoes. i can now wear heels much better than i ever could before, and i am grateful to my previous Master for that. That is my only point. Each of us has to make the decisions regarding our own bodies, and of course, if a limit needs to be set, or a boundary created, in order to maintain personal safety and comfort level, then i am fully in support of that. This is simply what works for me. [:)] edited for clarity
