Today I realized it was time to remove the spacer that fits between by big toe and the rest. Four weeks post-cast and my left foot is feeling pretty good. The toes wiggle some, the skin is solid, and some days, it's even better than the right one.
The right foot still has its bunion, and the blister I got in Paris is taking its time to heal up; it was pretty deep and is placed for maximum irritation.
I go to see Dr. Gartke in early December and have tentatively scheduled the right foot surgery for June 14 -- but that can't be right. June 14 is a Saturday. Maybe it's May 14, which is a Wednesday. In any case, I'm on the waiting list for cancellations before that.
I've had psoriasis flareups on my ankles and shins; probably not enough sunshine -- and too many hours in shoes! I also have an appointment with Dr. Dossetor late November/early December. And I will spend a week in Key West this month and hope to expose my itchy bits to the sun!
