The Incidental Case

It's already November 3d and I have written nothing since October 30th. One can say it was nothing to write home about . Just, I had a case that made me feel a bit out of sorts . True be told, it was not so much serious as curious. To make the story short I'd better touch upon minor nuances of my epic happened after the surgeon removed two spoke from my toes. She told that in a day I could get water baths for right foot. So I followed her advice. There was nothing wrong with my foot, bar a 5-millimetre tip of the thread sticking out from under the stitched skin on my big toe. I having a bath late in the evening when I discovered the problem , I, on the spur of the moment, sent a message to the doctor through WhatsApp. Of course she didn't answer for she perhaps had a sleep. But I didn't sleep a wink all that night because I knew those were inner stitches some part of which got through the skin on its surface. Since I prefer to err on the side of caution, in the following early morning I dashed to the trauma medical point in Big Bronnaya street. And from there on, with the referral from the orthopaedist, I went to Botkin clinic to have my foot seen. I struck it lucky, my surgeon was already awaiting my arrival as the referral had officially got through the computer system. It was a minor operation ; the surgeon had made a small incision in the problem area. The manipulation had lasted just 5 minutes, no local pain killer blockage needed.
