Pinless

[unixronin]

I no longer have any pins in my foot.  The wound is nice and clean; there was a little drainage, but no pus, indicating no lingering infection.  Having been so swollen, the skin on my toe is peeling like a drunk sorority date, but that ought to clear up quickly now that the swelling's gone.  My whole foot looks almost normal in both size and color, and I now have a couple of support socks for that foot, which I'm supposed to put on first thing in the morning to prevent swelling and edema.  (This will become less necessary when I can walk more again, and maybe even run again, in the future.  Yes, I do believe that I will be able to run again, though probably not as well as before.)

Congratulations on the successful de-pinning of your foot. I hope the healing process goes well.

It's a mite sore today, but considering he dug the pin out without anaesthetic and had a bit of trouble getting it out, I'm not really shocked by this.

Excellent!

Although I must confess that I misread the first line as 'I no longer have penis in my foot'...

Clearly, I need to MAKE PENIS FAST.

...I'm guessing there's a reference I'm not getting here?

I think he's riffing on spam subject lines.

Ahh.

[unixronin.livejournal.com]

You never saw the "MAKE PENIS FAST" spoof of "MAKE MONEY FAST" and penis-enlargement spams?

[dirtynumbangel.livejournal.com]

...apparently not.

That's great to hear! Best of luck on your continuing improvement, healing, etc.!

It's looking good so far. Even with the abscess left open to heal from the inside, I'm already walking better than I've walked in years (though I still can't walk for long).

Woo hoo! It's been a long damn 5 years... congrats.

Since I didn't get a chance to say it last night: congratulations! I hope the rest of it clears up in short order.
