Sorry about that Phil. I had something vaguely similar a while back but in my case it was from eating lamb – can't do it, or mutton, 'disagrees with me'.
To continue – Tuesday this week just gone was the seventh aftercare revisit to the Podiatrist. On this, and the prevous visit, she is having to break up the scabs a bit to let the crap out from underneath. Did I mention that the underneath is taking longer to heal (because of the chemical burn), or in other words, the top surface wants to heal faster. (I think I did.) Then she says "Does that feel better?" and I reply "Yes, now that you've finished poking and squeezing them"
Yeech. We're hoping there'll be no need for more of that and we can let them dry out; we'll find out on the next visit, next Tuesday (15th).
PS: I am now using their recommended taxi service (Angels Taxis Boston, tell your friends, shameless plug), they're only charging me a fiver each way, it's normally £6 something if someone else does it...
PPS: I am still using the one-size-too-large, virtually brand new, never-been-worn (because they're too big) moccasin slippers to step outdoors for any reason, because they have the extra room to accomodate dressings. I'm glad I bought them, and also that I didn't chuck them out on finding they're too big.
PPPS: today the post lady rang the bell
and then knocked, I got there and said "sorry I can't walk fast", she said "No it was just to make sure", then I remembered the doorbell receiver is in the conservatory, so probably might not be able to hear it too well from standing on the front doorstep...
Laters...
PPPPS: funny thing happened today, I'm sitting in my armchair with feet up on the footstool (not just because of the op, I do that often anyway); ankles crossed, browsing t'Internet for camp sites I might want to do next year, and I get an itch on the sole of the left foot, and I was going to try scratching it with the big toe of the right foot, but stopped myself in time remembering it ain't got no nail any more so that's not going to work. So that's one thing I've discovered I could do before but now I can't.
Gotta be done innit...
