When did you realize your (semi) major life decision had gone bad?

[EYEWHITES]

my biggest regret, other than moving to south texas, away from everyone i know...
i bought these old school shell toe addias, secial edition, they were y faviorte shoes, i eventually sarted wearing them to the skatepark, doing bmx tricks and such. the bottom of the shoe got ate up pretty bad, but i was to sentimental over them so i kept riding with them.
i eventually sliped a pedal and broke my ankle in 6 places when the tread gave out bad one day (my pedal had small spikes in them to keep your feet on them).
wo sugurys, almost 4 months later of not walking, and 9 titanium screws heavier, the surgeon beat the 60% i had to lose my foot. As greatful as i am, i can barely stand to wear busted up shoes now
