So what's up now?

Well, tomorrow will make 1 week since my latest surgery.

Not only was a small sedan's worth of metal removed from my foot, but Dr. D. also cleaned out some bone material from places it should not be, freed up a joint or 2 in my foot that had started fusing, cleaned out some scar tissue, and repaired a torn tendon I did not know I had.

Yesterday we went and got the surgical bandaging off. That was a whole lot of fun! Afterwards, Dr. D. said I could start walking on it. Yeah, right. I can't hardly put any weight on it yet because of the staples and stitches that are there and the swelling and other soreness. But I'm sure that will get better soon.

I go in on Dec 1 to get the stitches and staples out. Can't wait for that!

In the meantime, I keep working from home and keep trying to use this foot and do the best I can. Thank God for J and friends that make this bearable and take care of me.
