8 Months (& 3 days) P.O. Up and About...

Big toe...smart toe...pain in the ass toe...

Turns out the heel pain was entirely a one-day thing and is now but a memory. Toes are, as always, causing problems. Not both of them, to be fair, just the third one with the massive pin. Because of the position of this pin it stops me going through the phase of gait known as 'toe lift', which is where you lift your heel but keep your toes on the ground. In a normal foot this means the very bottom toe joint, where the toes meet the foot, is bent. As you can see from the picture bending with that pin in the way is painful/impossible! I am rapidly developing a roguish limp though and am looking forward to purchasing some kind of eye patch to go with it as soon as possible...
