When i saw the doctor i was going to show him my other foot, but was also needing to go home , finish packing, take a shower and leave for the airport so i never bothered. If i knew it would bruise my foot so much and keep hurting, i would have surely shown him!!!
The stitches have a typical Judy story around them. WEll,the doc sends in the nurse to take them out. So then i leave. At home i have a little over an hour to finish getting ready. I look at the bottom of my foot and see she has not taken the stitches out!!! I call and explain what is going on and i am told to come back and she will take me right away. So no breakfast, finished packing and no shower. I get back and through paging her many times i end up wasting 20 minutes. Then i see her calling some patients in and i just get in line!! Then she deals with the other patients, now it is 2 hours until my flight and i am at the doctors office. So she finally comes in (she knew all along that i was on my way to the airport) she is very quick and i ask her if she got them all. She assures me she did and i say both little toes. Well no , she had only got one. AAAHHHH She gets everything out again and takes the other stitches out. I was lucky they put me through quickly so i didn't have to wait in the long security line. When i got to the gate it was boarding time. Just made it.
