Feet yet again

I went to the foot clinic this morning wearing my air cast. When the podiatrist took off my dressings, he said, "The ulcer has gotten bigger. I think we need to put your foot in a cast." A real cast. So, after a while I left the foot clinic with a cast nearly up to my knee. I'm not wild about it (I almost had to slit my jean leg to get my leg out of them) but there seems to be no alternative. As the professor said to me, "We don't have a diabetic problem any more, it's a mechanical problem." Immobilisation is the only alternative.

So, I hobbled home, went to the church drop-in, and then to Tesco's to pick up stuff for dinner. The bean and ham soup is cooking now, and I'm just sitting down trying to get used to the cast. The bottom of my left foot is pretty sore, with a searing pain every couple of minutes on the left-hand side.

They said to come back in two weeks and they'd look at the bottom of the cast. If it was soaked, or if I was in pain, they'd take the cast off. Otherwise, it's apt to be on for a month, I think.

I am so depressed I can't tell you…
