Jeff and I almost had to surgically remove the toe rings from my feet yesterday! Ugh! My feet and ankles have started to swell something awful. When we went for a walk the other day my feet were hurting really bad when we got back home. So last night I decided I would wear my Birkenstocks for a walk and that they would probably be more comfortable. Normally I can slip them on no problem, but last night they were so tight I couldn't get them on my feet without loosening all the buckles! My poor toes look like fat little sausages!
