Crazy?

Yesterday I stepped in glass and kind of just left it other than socaking my feet in hot water. But this morning it still was painful to walk on. It felt like with every step I was treading it further into my skin. It actually bled again and I was getting worried about it possibly getting infected, since I have no barrier between the wound and the ground.

Went to the doctors, wanting advice and clues about how to take care of my feet or signs to look out for if it starts to get dangerous to my health. The doctor said he thought it was a crazy idea and suggested I wear socks and shoes please. He took one quick look at my injured foot, not even attempting to take the glass out, claiming he would need an x-ray to see if it was in there. He spoke about frostbite, hold and cold traumas and it leading to permanent damage to my feet. I left the doctors completely deflated, feeling like an idiot (again) and wondering whether I am infact being incredibly stupid. I crosssed paths with a fellow art student who expressed how much she liked my blogs and the project as a whole. Whenever I talk to an art student I get encouraged by their response, it is when I talk to someone who just doesn't undertsand that I question what I am doing and feel silly.
