new shoes, and job hunting

[aslant]

new shoes i bought yesterday. so comfortable! they are the first pair of high heels i have been able to wear since the surgery last summer. the scar is not pretty to me -- the line is not tight and too blurred, and i am still kind of self-conscious about it. i've definitely caught some stares in public. the hardware is not painful, but i hate how it deforms the line of my already-lumpy, short ankles.


in other news, it turns out that a job i was going to apply for today is not on a portland campus, but rather in klamath falls, a six hour drive south of here. boo hiss.

i could link it to showering, i guess. do you recommend a particular scar gel/cream in particular? i've tried two; a derma-e gel that seemed light and useless, and an onion extract goop that was so gummy and sticky on my hands afterward that it didn't seem worth it! i do want to try the commercial patch thing that just stays on for a while.

the onion extract sounds awful! i guess you could try applying it with a q-tip, if you still have it around. i don't have any specific recommendations, just for vitamin e in general.

well, it was gross but my sister swears by it! haha. i didn't think of q-tips, good idea :)

also, every time i've gone to buy plain vitamin e gel there are so many stupid additives and other things mixed with it. i need to try a health food store and buy it just plain.
