Toe Update

Well, the good news is my gout is much improved. The rheumatologist wasn't much help on Monday. She looked at it, nodded and said "Yep, looks like gout. That's really wierd." Then she called in the senior rheumatologist. He said it looked like gout too. Then she stuck a big fat needle in my big toe joint to try to extract some fluid. Ouch. Didn't work. "Oh well, come back if it returns after you have the baby".
Lets hope not!
It's feeling much better though and only hurts when I stand or walk on it for a long time. Or if I wear closed toed shoes, which means even though it's getting cold, I'm still swanning around in my thongs (that's flip-flops to you yanks).
