Heaven is clean socks

[cjsmith]

Post-op appointment this morning. My doctor changed the bandages wrapped all over the outside of my foot but didn't touch the surgical tape over the actual incision. I took a picture, of course (edit: for upload tonight). My feet don't look very pretty. They're orange, wrinkled, and a little bit bruised. They are also starting to smell like feet. Wow did it ever feel good to have clean cotton wrapped around them! I got clean booties, too, and what's more, I got permission to WASH the booties! Oh heaven!

You should see how long my big toenail is. But then, I have wide feet, which means my toenails can grow for-freakin'-ever and not hit the ends of my shoes.

Mine won't hit the ends of my shoes for quite some length, either, but that's usually because I have such a high instep that in order to find shoes that fit, they end up being longer than they need to be (I'm always wearing through the tops of them with my big toes first, too).

I blow out the sides. My foot starts hanging over the empty space beside the edge of the sole. :-)
