All is basically the same with the skin situation. The foot has been horribly itchy for the past 4-5 days .... it may be psychological since I discussed suture/metal allergic reaction with the dermo dr. at the last appt., but it is much itchier now than it has been for the past two months. This week I'd say in a heartbeat that it does feel like there is something inside that should come out & is noticeably bothersome. I thought I was going to have to pull the car over tonight on the way home from work, as the itch on the foot was so intense! Ugh!
Yesterday I did some research on top dermatologists in STL, but I think the doctor that I'm seeing now is one of the best. She is certainly in the top 4-5. My STL orthopod goes to her & she has a segment on Fox news about twice a month.
I need to go work with the foot some. Over the weekend and today it has been very stiff & I wondered if I should be returning to pt. My therapist is out-of-town at the moment, so I'm going to use this week to evaluate. I had hoped to return to the gym this week, but I don't think it is wise yet (trying to be germ cautious, until the skin clears up).
I have another four weeks at work before students begin to arrive for visit days. Pray for some encouragement this week .... the cream, meds, Saran wrap routine are getting old without seeing results.

I will pray for encouragement. And a sale on Saran Wrap that will knock your socks off and let you stock UP, even if you only end up using it in the kitchen...which sounds preferable to atop ointment slathered on appendages. Just saying. Thinking of you! L Jo
Jenny, I am kind of at a loss for words which is like impossible for me. It is so hard to believe that one could be allergic to the hardware and of course that one would be you. How weird is that? Is there no mercy at all? It really makes you begin to wonder. One thing I know for sure you are a saint or deserve to be. What we need to do is hold on together continue to pray, believe and pull ahead. Hang in there have a great labor day weekend can you believe it is here already? Just know all of us are pulling with you. Love, Teddy,Carol
Just checked in w/ your site & making sure there's no newsie news that I need to be updated on. I cannot BELIEVE that I forgot to say how much I liked the garden casual pic! It turned out GREAT! U R so photogenic! Hope your week went OK and that you DID hit a Saran Wrap sale somewhere. Or, even better, a shoe sale ... on shoes that would WORK 4 U. Hugs, my friend. L Jo
