OT - got that callous removed from my foot today
He scraped it off with this thing that kind of looked like a dental pick. It didn't hurt at all. He said it was all dead skin so that's why I could barely even feel it. Took about two minutes.
My foot feels much better now. That's the good news. The bad news is that he said it may come back. Apparently I have a bone on that foot that kind of sticks out a little bit and puts extra pressure on that spot on my foot.
But at least it was quick and easy to take care of today.

I won't do the surgery a 3rd time as it was very painful recovery and had to wear a wonky shoe and slipper for almost 6 months. I keep hoping that it will get better as I lose the weight and won't have so much weight on my feet. I have finally gotten a very sharp knife just for this problem and I cut it off myself very carefully each month. It has like a core to it and when I pop that out with the knife I end up with a nice size hole in my foot but the relief of it being goneis awesome!!! Until it grows back the next month.
I hope yours is easier than mine.
