Foot update

[chrishansenhome]

I dressed my foot this morning. When I took the old dressing off, I was very pleased to find that the wound, which had previously looked like a tadpole (an oval "head" with a long "tail"), had lost its tail and turned into a rather small oval. The healing continues, and I think that if everything goes well, the wound will be healed by the time the study ends for me in three weeks.Will I be relieved not to have to wear this freaking boot!

sounds painful :(

Luckily, because of diabetes, I have no feeling in that foot, so it wasn't painful at all.

I'm sorry.. I didn't know.

That's OK. Millions of people have diabetes, and they get along relatively well. I've had it for more than 25 years (I believe; I was formally diagnosed only in 1991) and I'm doing OK, although I've just recently gone on insulin and I'm still figuring out how to keep my blood sugar normal on that.

Thanks for your kind wishes and there's no need to be sorry.
