[#2686573]

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. ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Despite this, it's still swollen and has now turned a purple bruise colour. Still hurting and can't walk properly. ๐Ÿ™

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

As always, thank you so much. ๐Ÿ™‚

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. ๐Ÿ™„

Flipflops? Good grief no way!
