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.

My doctor also recommends New Balance.

Can I pick 'em, or can I pick 'em? ;-)

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

"Pedorthists" -- who knew?!

I hope the remaining pain goes away soon for you. *hugs*

Yay on getting all the stuff off your feet! I look forward to the pic.

I hope that your feet start feeling a lot better soon! Good luck in finding some nice comfy shoes, too. ♥ HUGS ♥
