Hi all,
After 7 months of not being able to touch my feet and having my husband and/or my daughter (sometimes both at the same time) trim my toenails, I finally made an appointment with a podiatrist because my toes were getting sore and red and just generally disgusting. He fixed them up and said I was JUST shy of developing a couple of nasty infections from ingrown toenails -- something a fusion patient doesn't want. So now I'm scheduled to go in and have the nails trimmed by a pro every six weeks or so.
Moral of the story: if you can't take care of your own feet, hire someone to do it for you!!
