Stupid foot!
I haven't been posting on DW or LJ recently. I really need to post pictures of what I did in pottery this semester.
I also need to have surgery on my foot. I chipped a bone in my foot. I've been seeing two different podiatrists (insurance change) and having it wrapped, but the darned little chip is still there. The newest doctor told me that wrapping it, and taking Nsaids is just sort of putting a bandaid on a wound, and it's time to think about surgery.
I'll admit that I agree, because I'm tired of wrapping my foot when I go anywhere. And Leo lost the little metal clasps for my newest wrap, he knocked them under a piece of furniture I can't lift. So I use a few stitches to hold it in place. Sigh.
And you have to wash the darned wraps, because they get smelly after awhile if you don't.
Surgery is slated for the first Friday in September. I'll have to take two weeks off, because the foot needs to be elevated as much as possible while the stitches are still in. Otherwise swelling occurs, and the doc said that would be uncomfortable.
Sigh...... I *think* I could afford two weeks off. I'll see how it goes.
Anyway.....
I really need to update more often. Will go check my friends' statuses (stati? statui?) now.
