final toe update

It's official!

no leakage

ugly, but no wound

So I did a 14K walk tonight from my office to Jamshil Bridge to my apartment building. My feet are achy (as I continue to recondition after nearly a year of not walking), but they're otherwise fine. No leaks, no bleeding, no nothing. I might celebrate by doing something girly like paying a visit to the mani-pedi lady in the building where I work. Maybe she can de-uglify my toe a bit. Once I get my taste and smell fully back, I'll have a larger celebration. This might be a knock-on-wood thing to say, but my frozen shoulder is almost gone, COVID has come and gone, and the toe that has plagued me since last October is now healed. (Watch me get taken down by a heart attack—ha!) I've been stroke-free for two years, and while my toe was healing, no other diabetic ulcers appeared, so I must be doing some things right. Sure, I still have a long way to go, but the road ahead doesn't look quite as rough. So maybe there's hope for a peaceful few years before the next problem rears its head.

I won't be showing any more new toe pics, but I might show some old ones, at some point, maybe for entertainment's sake. (Like my favorite of the bunch.)
