I've been Discharged from Phototherapy. The nurse (Kim) and I agree that my feet are pretty close to normal, close enough to stop!
So I now have 2.5 extra minutes in my day, if I have a fitness appointment the same day, and a huge 1 hour if I don't. What will I do with the time?
Ah, yes, prepare for Christmas, get some exercise, sleep!

Nearly normal
My feet are so close to normal!
There are still some thick/flaky patches, but the phototherapy has been amazing! I'm continuing for another week or so, but then I will feel "cured", at least for a while!

Feet less like leather
The phototherapy seems to be working! The thickness of skin on my soles has been reduced, and most parts feel like actual skin instead of leather.
I bought new shoes but they are not a perfect fit, after all. I'm trying to break them in without hurting my feet. It's a battle.

shining a light on the feet
So, I have now had 4 days of phototherapy, which consists of having UV light shone on my feet (the soles of course) for seconds at a time. We are now up to 23 seconds. For this, I have to get to Bruyère Hospital, park, go home... if traffic is light and parking is easy, it can be done in about 45 minutes, round trip. At least there's no waiting in the clinic; it's very fast.
I think it might be helping. They are in a good phase mostly.
