frankenstein’s toe
So I showered today. Not quite the ordeal I expected. I cut the ziplock part off a sandwich-sized ziplock bag and taped it around my foot. It worked for a while, but water eventually leaked in. Here’s a picture of the showering rig. Next time I’ll use more tape.
Afterwards, I re-dressed the wound. It was a little scary but not as painful as I expected. I carefully unwound and removed the miles of gauze the hospital had applied. The exposed cut and stitches did not disappoint. Of course, I photographed the whole experience. Here is one of the better shots of my new Frankenstein toe. I love it.
I swabbed iodine on it, then applied some antibiotic ointment to the bandages. I re-wrapped the whole mess and now I can actually wear a regular flipflip, though getting it on and off is a little tricky.
Now I’m off to pick up my car at the office and then on to a special Iftar dinner. I’ll be posting photos of the rest of the healing as the week goes on. Stitches come out in a week.
One favor..can you post something else fairly soon, so I don’t lave to see your stitched-up-foot every time I come to you sight, right at the top of the page? *Laughs*
