A short update ...
Earlier this week I went to the podiatrict who looked at my big toe that I nearly ripped off three weeks ago. It seems to be hanging on to the nailbed and is a lot better than I thought it might be. She trimmed it and said there was no need to put a dressing on it.
Then yesterday my Beloved and I travelled the ten miles or so to the local hospice where Mandy showed me how to put on my stocking. She recommended using some gardening gloves with a bit of grip so I purchased a pair on my way home ... and they work a treat. I am now wearing my new stocking for a second day and although I'm aware of some compression [which is what it is all about] on my right leg, it isn't uncomfortable.
I'm not sure that it is a particularly sexy look but I did wear them with my shorts yesterday and I intend to do so until the weather changes ...
What do you think ?
I'm not sure I'll ever think of you the same way again...
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling ...
DeleteI know what you mean Rivergirl..lol.. And I thought I was being brazen when I took a picture of my foot,, and how swollen... it was.. And how people ..well, some people.. OK.. 1 person said how ugly my foot looked.. Hump.. forget about him..LOL.. I don't know if there are anyone who has Pretty Feet.. except those cute little Penguins,,,Hahahaaa....
ReplyDeleteI can be pretty cheap when I want to be Barbara ...
DeleteHeck. If it helps you, I think it looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI've been out walking wearing my stocking [and my shorts] and it is noticeable that I can bend my leg more readily ~ YAY !
DeleteIf you can get a green version... you could be the next Robin Hood.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't resist this joke, but I know very well this is the best way to keep the fluids from deforming your leg, as long you are comfortable wearing them it's great.
I feel fine in them Diane ... and I know I can get brown, black and blue ... there's one other colour but I can't remember what. These are beige by the way,
DeleteYou're stylin', Charlie.
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen.
DeleteIt actually looks good, Charlie. And if it helps, so much the better!
ReplyDelete(Now, if I could only figure out how to get to other blogs ... I'm so totally confused by Blogger.)
Thank you Pet ~ it is definitely better than having a swollen leg. As for how you get to the other blogs, do you mean mine or other people's ?
ReplyDeleteI agree, not particularly sexy. I told you to get the black one (and what's wrong with wearing one on the other leg?) Great if you can get out and about more easily though isn't it.
ReplyDeleteIt does a job Neil, that's the main thing. Just gone and done four miles or so in the Peak District across the heather moorland ...
DeleteDoesn't do anything for me, but if it helps your leg that's the main thing!!!
ReplyDeleteThe leg is the main thing ... :-)
DeleteI am glad you are not uncomfortable. I hope it works. It is definitely a look
ReplyDeleteI think you're wanting to say it's not a good look ... but good luck all the same.
