Left foot doctors, right foot doctors....

Well, there has been change but no progress. The surgeon Dr. Gartke wanted to send me to for my right foot problems does not want to take me. His name was Laurent, it turns out, and he is more interested in ankles!
So now I'm being referred to Georgeanne's favourite orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Brunet.  I think I've been here before, because I asked my GP to refer me to him several years ago, but I could not get in.
Heaven knows when I'll get to see him or get anything done. In the meantime, my foot gets worse.

Complicated bones

I went to see Dr Gartke today. She thinks my left foot is healing slowly but making progress. I told her the right was feeling worse these days, so I had that x-rayed, too, and she confirms it is getting worse. So bad, in fact, she doesn't want to do the same operation as on the left. Something more is required (bones to be fused) and she will send me to a colleague instead. I've already forgotten his name, (Labelle, Lalonde, Laurent....?) but I know he works at the General. I have to go to Dr Gartke's office to pick up today's x-rays before I see him. I also have to go back to Dr Gartke in August to check up on the left foot (but no x-rays needed this time).
She says I have noticeable arthritis in my feet, so fusing a bone won't make much difference.

She was mostly concerned for my memory today be cause I couldn't remember details about our last visit, and I couldn't remember my dermatologist's name or the one I gave up on previously.
