Have been to vascular outpatients
:D🙂
Twinkle is looking much better without her stitches and now taking the P out of bigtoe whose top hat turns out not to be a scab as I'd hoped butsome very dry necrotic tissue, luckily for me that should , all being well come away leaving a slightly mis shapen toe. Next appointment 6 weeks.
 
A small battle scar will undoubtedly make you much more enigmatic 🙂 Telling people how you got it can of course depend on who you are telling and when you are telling them 😛

Good news! 🙂 But keep an eye on that big toe, make sure it behaves itself and don't wait 6 weeks if you think it might need some attention sooner 🙂

Yes Sir we'll behave ourselves now.
Regards ljc's left foot 🙂
 
Just taken my socks off, low and behold Looks like I have picked up a blister about the size of my thumb. Never felt anything thankfully it was a very shallow one. All the skin of the blister has come off and the rest has dried out over the day. Did not noticed it was there when I applied the Urea cream this morning. :( Lucky this time, as it could of been a lot worse.

Oh heck, do keep a very close eye on it. Tbh it's best to get it checked over asap.
 
Will be doing so, whats curious is I have been wearing boots and shoes that have been broken in and comfy, unless its just been the heat that's caused a problem.

Something must have rubbed or knocked the area.
Please do get it checked out, if I had done so instead of watching and waiting, Twinkle may still be full sized and bigtoe may not be sporting its top hat.

Update
Bigtoe is starting to lose its top hat 😎 started early this morning.
I can't see what's underneath yet as its lifting up at the back and I'm no contortionist lol.
I'm getting the Betadine spray (iodine) under it and bigtoe is looking healthy if somewhat brown 🙄 no redness so far . I'm keeping everything crossed that bigtoe behaves itself.
Twinkle who lives next door to bigtoe is doing well too.
 
Glad to hear that twinkle is doing good and it sounds like big toe is gonna be rockin' its fake tan.

Just had a phone call from the podiatry dept, seeing them tomorrow to check blood flow to my tootsies. I've had this all done at the hospital so I know it's not good, but I am glad they're keeping an eye on things.
I just hope bigtoe starting to lose its top hat and having a fake tan (iodine) doesn't frighten her, but I'm sure she's seen much worse. Do you think If Bigtoe's nail sported a smilie face it would help ?
The last one that I saw a couple of weeks ago wasn't happy and dearly wanted put a dressing on poor bigtoe I said no, the vascular nurse later agreed with me.
