Last week, I reported on my first trip to the podiatrist.  On Wednesday, I went back for a followup.  The steroid injections in the bunions have helped, but not as much as either of us would like.

We’ve scheduled surgery on my right foot for February 6.  I have to have lab tests done and obtain a clearance from my primary car physician before surgery and the pre-surgery session with my podiatrist.

Friends and family members who have been through this have been [mostly] encouraging.  Only one story was about a woman who had one foot done and decided the pain was too much.  I am well acquainted with pain, and can handle a bit more of it.

My Weak End

Saturday morning found me with a wonky tummy and an achy body.  I missed the annual chili dinner at church.  They had cancelled the sleigh ride for lack of snow.  Looks like this week will make up for that as snow is falling and the forecaster keeps saying at least a couple of inches today with more to follow during the week.

Sunday morning wasn’t much better for me.  While Sylvia’s car whisked her off to church, our TV took me to the church of Charles Stanley in Atlanta.  We spent the afternoon listening to old time radio online via archive.org.  Later, Sylvia opened the DVD of The Music Man, which she had received for her recent birthday.  Although we are familiar with some of the music, we had never seen the 1962 movie with Robert Preston and Shirley Jones.  Also in the cast were Buddy Hackett, Paul Ford and a very young Ron Howard.
