The two blisters

I went out last night to a really posh restaurant and after a most excellent meal I sat there sipping expensive cognac. I asked that the head chef be brought out from the kitchen so that I may offer him a personal gratuity. On this forum there has been a lot of talk about cookery and I feel a little bit left behind. But I did feel able to hold my own in a conversation about pots and pans and the like. I asked the chef 'Please tell me how do you prepare your chicken?' The chef looked pensive before replying 'Oh nothing really complicated, I just stand the chicken in front of me and say chicken I am going to wring your neck'
 
I've just caught up with this thread and really feel for you, going through all that you have. I hope your big toe shows some sign of improvement. Keeping everything crossed for you. ((hugs)).

Thank you for thinking of me especially having so much Worry yourself. Sending you a ((((((HUG)))))) I hope you receive good news soon.
 
Thank you all so much. I laughed so much the tears trickled down my legs 😱 :D:D.
Docs came round this morning , one said do you want to go home ,I really wanted to SHOUT of course I b....y well do, but I managed to contain myself, and say , well that depends on my toeses.
Well let's have a look says he and my foot had its grand unveiling, mmmm not to bad thought I and at least it matches the other two, so don't look at all out of place, plus less nail cutting to do :D , lovely says he I think you can go ...
I butts in swiftly with and what about my big one, they were worried about that one too, so their they all are bent over my foot, (shame I couldn't wash it since the op ) , they prodded, they poked, scratched their heads , then decided to prick the big blister again and send some off to microbiology.
All being well they will let me go home tomorrow.
Oops nearly forgot last time , my foot was bandaged up for several weeks, which I'm sure didn't help it plus I had a dreadful build up of hard skin, this time from today it's as free as a bird but I mustn't get it wet (pong)
 
Glad to hear that you may be on the way home tomorrow.

Come on big toe I say, no stern talking to now, give him lots of motivational pep talks, and promise him some pampering if he sides with you and comes back clear. Hope you're home and cosy by this time tomorrow 🙂

Thank you everyone, your well wishes have worked , after much bribery big toe behaved itself so much so the docs were beaming at it when they saw it this morning. Trouble is poor Twinkle is upset as it's the one sporting stitches and only half the toe it was but it's big toe that's getting all the attention .

I'm just waiting for my discharge letter and some more horrid antibiotics and I can go home.




 
Fantastic news! Poor little twinkle will soon perk up again once home 😉
 
After a particularly c**p morning in my Soviet Gulag receiving complaints from angry clients for things my engineers have done wrong this is just the thing I needed to read to perk me up. This is wonderful news and I am pleased as Judy's other half. Go home kip in your own bed, take your rotten antibiotics and get yourself right back on form. We are all delighted for you :D:D:D
