Haha, the relief after having them done is something rather impressive
When I had mine done for the final time, they gave me special shoes to keep my foot tipped back, reducing the bleeding.

I didn't realise that, thought they were only to avoid pain, took them off as soon as I got home, had to go back 4 hours later after I'd bled through the bandages, oops.
