[echoes long ago]

Just a reminder if your feet are numb to check them out regularly to make sure there are no infections, or punctures, or foreign objects in them.
i have had a thumb tack in the bottom of my foot for days without knowing it. The only reason i knew it was days because i had heard a clicking sound one time walking barefoot but didnt realize it was my foot that was clicking.

This morning im putting cream on my feet which i do 2x a day in the winter and i feel a crack under my big left toe. no big deal. i get cracks which is why i put cream on them. i looked under my toe and was shocked. i had a hole in my left toe and it was weeping. it looked like i stepped on a nail and puntured it though that might not be the case. my doctor was closed so i went to a stat health kind of place and had it cleaned and looked at. Have to soak it 2x a day. bacitration and bandage. anti biotics too. have to go back and keep eye on it til it heals. infected but not too badly yet. never felt a thing to give any warning.
