Shoe shopping - double the fun

So I went shoe shopping for the summer. I have to buy all new shoes and I'm kind of sad to say goodbye to some of my old favorites. I have to get new shoes because of the bypass I had on my leg last summer. The swelling has not gone down and unless I spend all my time lying on the couch, it's not likely to go down much more than it is now. Bummer. So basically, I have to buy 2 pairs of shoes to get one pair to wear. A size 6 for my "regular" foot and a size 8 to fit the overly swollen other foot. So I bought 4 pairs and am now set for the summer with sturdy walking sandals and some dressier stuff. I also bought a pair of black pumps that I will be able to wear year round. The lady that served me was fantastic. For the pumps she found that the shoe also came in wider widths so I got a size 6M and a size 7 1/2 D width. Much more comfortable and I'm less likely to trip over the toe too. Now all I have to do is buy a pair of running shoes. Pardon me, 2 pairs of running shoes. Oh well, it's only a small thing and there are worse things I could be going through.

Also, my PET scan (that I need for cardiac clearance for my pancreas surgery later this spring) went well. It only took them 3 tries to get the iv in. Too bad they couldn't use the picc, but because of the isotope they don't use them. All in the all the procedure went well and I got out in less than 2 hours. The nurses there are always fantastic. I love the heart institute.
