it's the first day after minor foot surgery. i'm at home and more than a little bit frustrated. amazing how having one of your feet wrapped up can limit activities so much. i have to stay off it as much as possible until next week. i am not sure which is worse, being partly immobile or having to see the shoe boot everytime i look down. ugly ugly ugly. to cheer myself up i gave myself a pedicure -the polish colour clashes very nicely with my iodine-stained foot. i shall read my cookbooks fueled with lots of tea today [and avoid looking at my foot as much as possible].
