Sore toenails

HiSubie01 so sorry to hear about your toes - that’s not a fun thing to experience when you’re trying to sleep. Great question!

I elevated my feet by propping them on a pillow but poked them out from under the end of the doona to stop the pressure on them but the “bridge” idea is a good one! In addition to the toenail “bruising” and ultimate toe nail loss, my feet felt very hot all during chemo which was another reason to stick them out from under the covers. 

Open toed soft fluffy slippers were a good alternative to my usual slippers and I discovered Birkenstock makes a covered shoe (lace up) in suede with a high toe box that enabled me to wear something other than a pair of soft fabric runners when I was out and about.
