A trivial but genuine dilemma

I think I'd just make sure they were clean and comfortable Aveline. The last time I had an operation I was made to remove nail polish (and any other cosmetics) which I was a bit peeved about as it was freshly applied - so that was a waste of time, wasn't it? Perhaps treat yourself afterwards if it can be done just to boost your spirits and help you feel good. Best of luck.

If you don’t want nail polish then chiropodist....although more expensive!

Treat yourself to whatever treatment will give you the most joy - of even both of them. :-)

I'm due to have a hip replacement in July. In preparation I'm wondering what to do about my feet. At this time of year I generally have a pedicure before 'getting my feet out for the summer'. My dilemma is whether I should go to a beauty salon for a pedicure (my poor feet have been immured in boots all winter and spring and could do with a treat) or to a chiropodist/podiatrist for a more serious tidy up. I don't want nail varnish so beauty salon might not be appropriate but neither are my feet in serious need of eg corn or hard skin treatment by a podiatrist. I know I'll have big problems after my op as I believe you can't bend more than 90° for a while so toe nail trimming would be a problem. It could be useful to be on a podiatrists books then.
So I just don't know. What do Grans think?
