I am back from my podiatry appointment. Actually, I have been back for five hours, but who is counting?
Dr. Molnar is a very nice lady who wasn't at all disgusted/distressed/dismayed by the bottom of my right foot, even though there was a large, protruding callus and a lot of dead skin around it that HAD been a blister which popped at some point last week (yes, I know, that is disgusting, but it happened).
As we chatted, she was busily extracting dead skin from the bottom of my foot. And when she was done, there was a smooth, even surface that I had not experienced for more than a year!!
I am on antibiotics for ten days, and I have a prescription anti-fungal ointment.
But the feeling is great.
