foot whine

so I have a divot in my foot now. My podiatrist removed a cluster of *several hundred* warts from the ball of my left foot. This is after trying several other, less severe treatments. All I will say about the procedure is that getting a shot of local anesthetic in one's foot is *painful*, and that the smell of burning flesh isn't one I want to experience again any time soon (he cauterized all the blood vessels that were cut).

I'm tired, and cranky, and my foot hurts a little (but not too bad, thanks to Tylenol #3). And I managed to open up the wound and leave a trail of blood spots on the stairs and into my room and the upstairs bathroom. [livejournal.com profile] deguspice kindly cleaned them up. He's being very nice to me even though I am not being very nice to him. That will come later ;)

feh. I am going to sleep for a bit.

Ouch. Well, heal up soon and well.

*gentle hugs*

I had that done once when I was 19. It ranks way above giving birth on the pain scale. I hope you're not going to have to go back in to have further trimming done followed by Betadine soaks like I did. *shudder*

Sleep well and enjoy the nice codeine. :)

Oh my god, I hope so very much that I don't have to do this for the cluster of warts on the ball of my left foot (weird coincidence there). The acid was bad enough.

Hope you can walk again soon!
