The context of the following conversation is Remy wanted to go hiking yesterday but their shoes were uncomfortable and they needed new ones.:
Remy says I really wanted to go hiking yesterday but my shoes don't fit the same way since my surgery..
The friend responds I guess you're going to have to get all new shoes?.
Remy responds My sandals will still be okay, but my boots and dress shoes will need to be a size larger now..
The friend responds I'm glad you got your foot operated on though, I know you're not in pain anymore..
Remy responds Yeah. Having to buy new shoes is a small price to pay for being pain-free!.
The friend responds Isn't that the truth! We'll go hiking next weekend..
