My Foot Surgery

Ah yes, I forgot to mention that on Tuesday (22nd) I had minor surgery on my foot to remove large bone spurs from 2 toe joints. Yes, it was "ouch". The doctor said they were quite significant when she got in there, but was pleased to say that she was able to free up the joints and that I should be able to fully flex and bend the joints now. I am on crutches since i can put any weight on my foot for a week.... I have anti-inflamitories and some pain pills, by it is day 3 and already the paid is easing up. When I see the doctor in a week she will let me know if I can put any weight on it and also if i can drive (I have a standard and need my left foot for the clutch). The stitches come out on Jan. 8th, but it will take about 2 months i am told to be active with walking or running. As I sit around with my foot elevated.. Chris is being my care-giver and chauffeur (lucky me!!!).. Not exactly how I planned Chirstmas, but this had to be done, and the sooner the better.
