Today’s Task

Five AM and the alarm sounds.  Haven’t heard that in a long time.  Shower.  Take my morning (BP) meds with just enough water to wash them down.  Sylvia and I head out the door.  Next stop Pennock Hospital in Hastings.

Paper work and preliminaries to go through.  Then relax and wait.

My mission?  To get my foot screwed up.

Not really my surgeon.

Not really my surgeon.

Mission accomplished!  The big toe joint has been fused and held in place with a plate and a handful of screws.

We were back home in time for lunch.  I was ready.

Now I wait six weeks for it to heal.

  1. Wishing you a speedy recovery and little pain in the interim. I’m sorry you had to go through this.

  2. Ouch! Wishing you a speedy recovery! Hopefully the worst of it was that 5 AM alarm since you don’t do mornings.

    • Thanks, Meghan. I didn’t mind being first on the docket this morning. That meant I didn’t have to fast (neither food nor water) as long as those who were down the list.
