| It was bound to happen! |
Yes...your
are correct. I am drying my bandaged foot with a hairdryer. I am an idiot – need
I say more. It's been almost a week since the surgery and until today I
had managed to keep my foot dry with a high tech combination of a garbage bag
and masking tape while in the shower. But I got cocky. Tonight, feeling smug
about my wrapping skills, I did a quick whirl of the masking tape and jumped
in. As the hot water cascaded down my back I noticed an odd sensational. It
felt like a torrent of warm water was flowing down the back of my leg.
"How funny that I can feel the warmth through the garbage bag," I
thought. It turns out that feeling wasn't a sensation. I was actual water
running down my leg.
In a bid to dry the wet bandages I attacked my foot
with a hairdryer for half an hour. I thought I'd nailed it. Foot finally
dry...no damage done. That is until I noticed an intense burning sensation in
my three littlest toes. It turns out I burnt my toes in the dryer process! That
happens when you forget you don't have feeling in your foot. Oh well, at least
I gave myself a good laugh in the process.
