...embrace it!
I had my peroneal tendon repair surgery and the recovery nurse suggested using a stretchy fuzzy sock to cover up my toes/extremely thick dressing. The ones we had didn't fit, so Rob took one of his orphaned wool socks and cut the toe off. That was okay, but it was a dull grey and didn't have great stay-on ability (the green is painter's tape). I decided to knit my own cover.
I went with some worsted weight yarn, and a rib, and basically, knit a sock toe. Easy. Then, I made a heel cover by casting on almost enough to go around me (basically what I had ended with for the toe piece), then did short rows like a short row heel, but in garter stitch. To make the ties, I cast on a length of stitches, then casted off. I usually would get a crochet hook and just make a chain, but I didn't want to bother anyone to go find my hooks.
Then I got lucky and found some bells in my craft drawer.
The only place it got seen was when I went to my follow up. No one commented! No worries, it still make me happy and kept my toes and heel warm!
