Today will forever be known as the day of the snausages & kankles. I started off my day just like normal. I put on my shoes and they were a little tight, just like usual. I stopped wearing my rings and watch about a week or so ago so my shoes were inevitably going to eventually have to go.
When I met a friend for lunch I mentioned to her that my socks were leaving rings today. We laughed about it and I moved on. Shortly after I got back I noticed the ring was getting much worse and my feet were REALLY starting to hurt.
So about 2:00 I took my shoes off. Which as anyone knows is the cardinal rule of a way to end up with no shoes to wear. Since they were no longer constricted by my shoes my feet were free to expand to whatever size they saw fit. About 3:00 I had to remove my socks because the elastic around the tops was cutting of circulation.
Finally by 5:00 I knew I was in trouble. It was time to go home and I could no longer bend my toes. Let alone try to get my shoes on. It is cold outside so I didn't want to just go to the car with no shoes and socks on, although I guess if that was my only option than that was what I was going to do.
Luckily it didn't come to that. One of the women that I work with walks after work some times so she keeps an extra pair of tennis shoes in the closet in the front of our office. SO... I left wearing her size 8 tennis shoes.
When I got home I took my shoes and socks off and realized that I had now officially transistioned into kankles attached to snausage feet!! My only hope is that maybe tomorrow they will go down!!

One word - Crocs.
no bending to put them on, they are lightweight, wide enough for swollen feet and oh-so-comfortable! I think I will live in mine for the next 4 months (there was a old woman who lived in a shoe, who had so many children she didn't know what to do...)
I'd recommend the real thing (they are much softer/less stiff) but if the price tag breaks your budget, the cheap knockoffs will do.
Oh, and they will be handy for the hosptial instead of slippers (waterproof- hello!), and are great for yard work, etc in the summer.
You just might even find they are so comfortable that you dont care how goofy they look. :)
(I'll quit bugging you with comments now, sorry)
