The Silver Lining

Ok. Even though I'm still hopping around on one foot, there is some good news from yesterday: I can take proper showers again.

Apparently, stitches aren't supposed to get wet. That means that until this morning I hadn't had a shower since July 28th when I attempted to take a shower with my foot wrapped in plastic which only succeeded in filling up with water and soaking my foot thoroughly which later made the nurse freak out because I didn't call the doctor when it happened.

Instead, I've had to take baths every morning. Baths.

A bath is nice now and then. A bath is a real hassle when you take one every morning.

But now I can take showers and that's a really good thing!

In gross news, the lack of exposure has caused my bandaged foot to slough the outermost layers of skin. It's pretty neat, but it made my shower this morning really long as I spent a long time scrubbing my feet.

For your benefit, I wore a sock over my foot today.
