Yao works his way back
Rockets center Yao Ming was back on the practice floor a day after his left big toenail was surgically removed. He was not ready to practice, but he shot free throws and offered hope he could return more quickly than the seven to 10 days predicted on Monday.
"It feels good," Yao said. "It's not bothering me anymore. I hope that toenail never grows back. I had the experience before (when he removed a nail himself in July 2004). I took my right nail off two years ago. I really felt bad. I had 10 days I almost could not walk, could not walk normally. But today is a different experience for me. I feel I can walk today, maybe ... jog tomorrow, maybe jump the day after and play at the end of this week maybe."
Yao's new shoes arrived Monday and are higher on his ankle, with the top eyelet farther back to allow him to tie them tighter and perhaps avoid the sliding he has had inside the shoe.
"The doctor told me I have a special foot because my big toe is longer than my second toe," Yao said. "In 90 percent of people, the second toe is at least even with the big toe. I'm different, so that means more pressure on the big toe. This is the (shoe) they sent me, and I feel pretty comfortable."
Yao said some of his problems come from being a big man in the crowded paint.
"I saw Dikembe (Mutombo's) foot," he said. "It's an ugly foot. I can be a foot model." |

| glad to see Yao feeling better. This topic could've been put in the pre-season or toe problem thread instead. |

If you guys cannot see the video I posted above, then maybe the following photos of Yao Ming joining the team practice yesterday can help to relieve your anxiety about the state of Yao Ming's toenail fiasco.
