So all right so it's been a long time since we've seen you and it sounds like
you've had your plate full so let's go ahead and get these trimmed on I'll go
as gently as I can because I know your feet are it's interesting when I test it
you don't have any feeling yet these are very tender yeah yeah I only feel pain I
don't feel and like severe coldness okay now I felt that but do you think I would
feel it more for help yeah well you let me know if you need me to take a little
break here okay okay and once we get these trimmed and get you back on a
regular schedule they're not going to be this bad now you're covering your eyes
is any of this hurting so far I don't want the visual to cause it to hurt more
would you like me to lay you back no okay okay thank you so
did they grow straight at least yeah well that's because of your wonderful
care well thank you know they're growing straight but well down around the end of
the toe or under well it grow it's growing down downward at the end of the
toe yeah curving down Wow see I can't focus at that distance mhm
they actually have curled under
when's the last time you saw toenails this bad you'd be surprised
every couple weeks I get somebody who for whatever reason hasn't been able to
get in or they've written in like deferral yeah or somebody bringing sorry
someone bringing in a parent who you know who thinks to look at grandma's
toes yeah well they don't do it in the hospitals and read annex anymore
goodness all right so I'm gonna comment this one
with just little teeny bites you let me know if anything I'm doing is hurting
next to the big toe hurts yeah I always wanted to curve in a little me what I
could do might help myself
now you're not doing any chemotherapy now right right it's just from when you
were all the nerves in your feet or kind of shot yes seven years okay eight chemo
and radiation and back then they didn't target just the tumor they gave it
throughout your whole body mm-hmm and so now the last four years has been dealing
with the side-effects all the fallout from yeah yeah
well we poison you just enough to keep you alive but kill the tumor yeah yeah I
don't think I'd probably be here because I had stage 4 breast cancer and then
stage 2 rib bone Oh tumor right underneath it mm-hmm yeah and now all
four of my children are in their 20s and they just got back from Bavaria for a
month now you have an ex who's in that who's there if I recall right okay yeah
and you had at least one of your kids went there to live with them right right
yeah wow that's that's not bad and I don't even have those no to the chart
but I do remember you talking about that last time yeah and now 18 months ago all
right yeah and they just got back oh
yeah eight days ago mm-hmm and they were all four of them
living in the two homes in Bavaria so they got to go to North Weinstein and of
course the Oktoberfest in Munich and Oh fun they went inside a concentration
camp and not fun hey no that's it's a very somber day very yeah you can feel
the emotions there even though there God you know yeah and retrace where they
went to kindergarten and you know all that mm-hmm and I was glad they all
could do it before I'll start getting married and having babies and you know
that they all could for a month be over there together yeah that was a little
scary on my part cuz I was left home all alone but I wasn't gonna have him
dragged me all over with them and then have to deal with my ex you know but
yeah
and I'm just happy we don't have a ton of snow my wheelchairs broken and I'm
walking with two canes on my hip Venice this is the most I want from the front
of your door into the office here in I don't know when the last time well we
can get your wheelchair in here and the office can accommodate that so I just
want to show you I don't know if you can see but there's big dents down here in
the skin where that nail was oh really yeah it was digging into the skin pretty
good now it doesn't look like it broke the skin but um but that all you know no
no it'll feel way better oh good now that we've got that nail not digging
into the into the skin so it says well I thought if it might have be breaking the
skin that I you think that would be enough pain to uh for me to notice well
that would make sense that that's why your ankles and heels are hurting you
think those are wheels are waves okay so I'm not gonna try to move that then
because that's the exits why I can't know what you're fine just go so you're
comfortable yeah when they took I kept saying I was having pain so much pain
here in your hip yeah yeah and the doctors a fury but and did all that
Suri's and scans and it's like well when did that happen it's like one minute it
was okay and I was doing therapy and the next the bonus does the bow instead yeah
oh that this was so much okay the this footer this tough because
this toe is almost done oh okay well like I said you tell me if you need me
to take a breather I'm stop for a minute okay we gonna eat
or us I just gonna keep breathing and now watch I don't have any type of
bacteria or fungus or you know it doesn't look like it to me but that's
not your biggest issue right now let's just we can just keep these managed okay
and comfortable for you yeah without having to talk about other problems more
treatments or other medications right okay yeah that's the ankle they broke
toys in one week too but this holy is my dominant leg in it
it's the one I have the most issues with and then
you were my miracle with broken ankles and oh you have been through so much
with me nice big chunk there but if you hadn't taken care of my feet all these
years mm-hmm I don't think those toenails would have grown I bet they
would have probably already have been cutting in to the skin and everything
mm-hmm well let's just try and breathe okay
done okay last one early making homes a little late it I was a wimp okay let me
get this last one done if you need me to lay it back I can
slow deep breaths okay great all right I'm just gonna all right so we're just
gonna use a regular old emery board on you cuz I don't think you would tolerate
the drill at all maybe next time when they're not quite
so sensitive always a lie don't give up Thanks
so I'm just gonna make real lightweight hmm
I'm not kidding yo you're definitely not getting more flexible that's what you
got me for now you know let's just get you back on a regular schedule you know
that's true that's just not joking over oh that's me I can't even buy a cheap
purse I'll wreck it no weak little break and
my other ones
I didn't hear one swear word petty enough no no I think go to hell and back
Wow
so the fact that I can actually feel something a little you know it's not a
normal like I can feel my fingers in my hands but that I can even feel a tiny
bit of pressure you know I mean look you know this could have been caused by the
chemo it could have been caused by the gamma ray syndrome it could have been
caused by the radiation so you do have definitely have feeling in your toes
because it hurts right great but but they're so cold and when they get cold
that's when I feel the pain yeah your circulation is not great alright and
your feet again chemo radiation right but you know what but they look okay I
don't see any problems in the skin we'll keep those nails will keep them
shortened okay and you know let's get you back in at about ten weeks yeah and
we'll take it from there can you get your shoes on or do you need help with
that too I don't like this that's why I like these ones was the edema once you
get him on then I can pull with the edema I had to find boots that would
experience Debray with the swelling and
of course they're the most expensive boots the only ones that work but I've
always been that way
