Cursed are the feet that bring no news


So my left foot has seen better days. I left the square piece of gauze on to cover the large wound on the top right corner. I found out a few days ago that the bottom half of my foot wont be able to be operated on before we leave the country. So it will have to wait a few years. My sister-in-law, Jill thinks that feet are disgusting. She hates feet. But a few years ago when we had "the great feet debates" I told her that I like feet and went on to compare feet to a beautiful sunset. She was appalled, and wondered what kind of family she was marrying into. Naturally it was a family with a proper perspective on sunsets. I'm afraid to report that I have changed my mind this passed year. I'm no longer a feet fan. I don't mind sunsets though. It's funny the way you really appreciate your body parts after they get hacked up. The first day back from surgery, I thought about how fortunate I am to be able to walk. Now that I can't walk, I really desire to walk again and am hoping that this foot will heal, and a healthy foot will be restored to me. Trina will be happy once it heals too, because I'll stop tracking blood and messy bandages all over our little apartment. So far I've only wrecked one pillow. I'm putting these pics up, so that I can see how well my foot heals. And Trina wanted to test her new camera that she just got at an incredible price thanks to Karen Coleman. I think She's pleased with it. She likes it more than my left foot to be sure, and possibly my right foot too!
Plantars Warts man, who'd of thought. I go my whole life free from this viral infection, then all the sudden at age 27 look out. The thing you can learn from me, is when you get the first one. Get it taken care of. Don't wait two years or so hoping they'll go away. Accept the fact the your body isn't becoming immune. I gotta tell you though. This Dr. Mozena, who I've been seeing for my feet. Great guy, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him. I'll leave you with this African proverb: I Like this quote I dislike this quote "Only a fool tests the depths of water with both feet."
