Last week of the cast!
I will be very, very glad to get rid of this cast. This has been the worst week for discomfort. Lots of rubbing, chafing, itching, burning. And my toes can wiggle pretty well, including the big one, imprisoned as it is. This is Sunday night, so I only need to hold out till Thursday morning. Guess I can do it. But I would like to be able to walk a little farther without it hurting.

On the weekend, Rachel painted my toenails for me.... even the one hiding under the cast!
The cast is looking pretty ratty, especially the bottom.

Fourth week in the cast
It's starting to get tedious.
Also, I'm wearing the edges of the cast down through "normal" activities.
Showering at the cottage this morning was not as much fun--or as dry for my foot--as the last time. There wasn't any sunshine, and I was sloppier about positions, etc. I thought Neil would come and scrub my back, but he was busy with other stuff. The cast got damp on the bottom, but I dried it with the hair dryer and it seems okay. Then I stuck it into another plastic bag, put on the boot and went to see the Sundance Festival at Maberly. A small festival, but getting around was not great for someone whose foot is slippery and a little sore (also the right leg got tired of doing all the work.).
Pain? Nothing that feels like bone problems. Just rubbing at the edges of the cast and itching, burning sensations from time to time. It may be the psoriasis asserting itself. It's hard to keep my sticking-out toes clean enough, and my heel and arch are pretty flaky.
