Day 25

Well, today is the day the massive bandages came off. The surgeon seemed happy with the progress so far. I was slightly horrified to find a rather large metal stick coming out of the top of my big toe. I took photos but I have decided to spare you. I’m not generally squeamish but even I find the photos uncomfortable to look at.

So instead you get a slightly blurry photo of a beautiful Irish terrier. We went to the park afterwards for lunch and a stroll in the spring sunshine.

It’s going to take a while getting used to a poorly foot without the comfort of the bandage, but I see the surgeon again in a fortnight. All steps forward toward recovery.
