Meet Fred, my cankle

WARNING! ACHTUNG! BE YE WARNED! The image you will see is quite disturbing and may cause sudden vomiting, blacking out, general disgust, or might mean you won't be able to look me in the eye ever again.

Meet Fred (as in Flintstone), my foot and ankle that has morphed into something non-human. You can see why my co-worker shrieked in horror a couple of weeks ago. I must admit, it's pretty grotesque. But I really don't know what to do about it. I elevate it whenever I can, I drink a minimum of 10 glasses of water a day (everyone says to drink more water to flush out the swelling), and I massage it. Maybe I need to perform an exorcism on it. Oh well, just one more thing to ask the mid-wife about later today.

By the way, I'm just glad it's not the summer right now. I have a feeling Fred would be even larger!
