Missing you

The world beckons but I am not well enough to go out into it. My infected foot continues to be a pain. Literally. I’m finding it harder to walk in the house, let alone outside and I know I’m not doing enough exercise.

I’m on another lot of antibiotics which I hope will be improve things soon. My main problem is SHOES, my toe hurts when I put them on so I’m struggling with an open toed pair of tatty slippers, not really wearable outside the house. Although I had to go to the doctors in them, I was embarrassed to wear them.

So, I’m not feeling my best and I’ve missed coming here the last few days. Finding other things to do because I don’t know what to write about. Moaning about manky toes isn’t the best is it?

Yes I am looking for sympathy!

In toe news

Toe sorted out, went to a private chiropodists. Just got to let it settle down for a couple of days. This is the ‘before’ photo. He cut off the broken bit and trimmed my nails. Just after I got this appointment I got a call from the NHS podiatrists saying they could see me later today. I felt really guilty but I’d spent the night with my toes wrapped up and I didn’t get much sleep. I decided to stick with the appointment I’d made. I don’t like booking things then not turning up!

Makeshift covering…

After spending three hours searching for plasters… I found them. I’ve put one lengthwise over my toe to protect it. To hold the loose bit of my toenail in place. I tried to put another one round three toes but it didn’t work so I’ve resorted to Masking tape. It hurts but I didn’t want to leave it loose because when I go to bed the sheets will catch on it. Ouchie!
