Last follow-up appointment

[cjsmith]

Last follow-up this morning. I expect in another couple of months I'll make an appointment to deal with the pain *not* fixed by surgery. Until all the phantom sensations fade a bit it'll be awfully hard to figure anything out.

Yes, she had a tourniquet around each ankle during surgery. (That explains a lot.)

My feet will be permanently wider than before. However, right now they're probably even bigger than their final size.

I have cards for two pedorthists, who can at least tell me what shoes (not?) to buy. My doctor also recommends New Balance. She thinks I can get mass-produced shoes.

My right foot, more full of weird sensations, also has more scar tissue. I should massage that.

I did have stitches, dissolvable ones. There's no sign of them now.

We pulled off the surgical strips. Pic later.

I love New Balance. It doesn't hurt that I can ride a bus to their Brighton outlet store....

Amen. We've got one nearby here, too.
