Jeff stared at his foot, not knowing whether to laugh or throw something.
What a dirty trick. They’d waited until he slept deeply following the surgery, a combination of pain, shock, and anesthesia.
They’d painted his toenails. Bright, red/orange. And because of other injuries, he couldn’t reach his foot to wipe the stuff off. Couldn’t pull a sock over his foot to hide it.
Well, their time was coming. He had several months in which to plot his revenge.
Just Writing! 
Dear Linda,
One of the characters on NCIS had a similar experience. 😉 Love this story. Simply fun.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Now he’ll spend his time plotting revenge when he could have spent it for better use 🙂
Am sure the nurse will remove it in a jiffy!

If he can’t secure some assistance he’ll just have to let them grow out I guess.

Who knows, he might discover he likes to cross-dress and thank them for it. He can even blame the switch on the operation 🙂

Somehow I don’t think so. He’ll be wanting that polish OFF ASAP.

I had a chuckle with this tale, Linda.
It’s no joke. It does gets hard to reach your toes especially with a bad back.
I’m sure my pedicurist is happy about it. ~~~~ : – )
Fun tale … I enjoyed it immensely.
Be Safe … Isadora 🙏🏻
