Double Trouble

This week has been mostly boring in the foot department.
Sunshine!

I did get out in the sunshine one day.

I have figured out that one croc flip flop is a good enough support for my hopping (left) foot. Of course, I get to wear socks and crocs (in my case, just sock and croc of course) because crocs, wonderful as they are, encourage the psoriasis on my soles.

The right foot is reasonably comfortable in its lighter cast, and is able to wiggle a bit. I am wiggling my toes often, as directed by Dr. Brunet. The whole foot moves around a tiny bit, too. Sometimes I feel rough or scratchy things inside, but the doctor warned me there were some long pins that might cause that.

My right little toe is still invisible from where I sit, but I can feel it when it wiggles or when someone checks for me. Trouble is, there is considerable flakiness under and around that toe. Psoriasis strikes again, or so I assume.  I put Dovobet on it or get someone else to (Laura the Fearless, for instance), and get some relief from scratching with a QTip, and removing some of the crud. Yuck.

I got out on Sunday with Rachel. We used the wheelchair and had a tour around an artisan's craft show. Tonight Neil and I are going to a play at the Gladstone and then out to dinner! Whee!
