    Blister on toe from inappropriate footwear, should really have popped it but didn’t. Woke up this morning and it’s doubled in size so was forced to do surgery. 😯

    Despite this, it’s still swollen and has now turned a purple bruise colour. Still hurting and can’t walk properly. 🙁

    Any doctors in the house please? Or should I summon an ambulance?

    As always, thank you so much. 🙂

    was it leopardskin thighboots ?

    It’s a proper pain that they don’t do half sizes 🙁

    Amputate.

    Up to the knee should sort it.

    3 or maybe 4.

    I prescribe Pimms after 12 oclock each day, fruit in the first glass, then just neat with ice. Continue until well.

    can’t walk properly

    S’ok. You’ll still be able to ride a bike.

    Silly mare. Stop moaning and WTFU, or we’ll have to put you down.

    Or is it ‘destroyed’? I can never remember. Is that only race horses?

    “Destroyed’. Such a brutal term, in’t it?

    First time I heard that, I thought I heard the bloke on the radio say ‘the horse was distraught’. I thought it was rather touching that they seemed so concerned about the horse’s feelings.

    Depending on how miggle clarse you are, I think flip flops or Birkenstocks too.

    Amputation, it’s the only cure, otherwise gangrene could set in, and it’s difficult to mask the smell…

    Thanks for all the sympathy NOT!

    Well, I managed a little pootle today but my feet were swelling in the heat. Boy was I glad to take them shoes off! Will see how it is tomorrow.

    Scaredy – nah, no leopardskin. I’m a classy lady. 🙄

    Flipflops? Good grief no way!
