Update on Foot Surgery

Oh my achin\` foot!!!

Well the surgery went well, I guess.  The doc found some torn and loose ligaments which he fixed and also a bone spur from an earlier injury. He cleaned that up as well.  Thanks for praying!!  It was sure weird being put under for the surgery!  I remember being rolled over….and then nothing. Two and a half hours later I was wheeled up to a recovery area where I lay for several hours.  Very nauseated and weak.  The hospital staff was very nice but I was sure glad to finally leave (on crutches of course). 

Janet has been playing nurse for me since then and she is doing a very good job.  At first I was pretty helpless and had to keep my foot elavated.  Then after a week, they gave me a more permanent cast which is not any more comfortable.  I’m still on crutches, but hope to graduate to a cane this week.  5 weeks to go …goody

Pray for healing and a quick recovery and for Janet’s continued patience for her patient.  But most importantly- that God would continue to teach me through this trial and that He would be glorified through it all.

Thanks again for your prayers.

PS. new update May 12th…. I had the cast taken off and am now just wearing a brace.  Hurts, but I’m making progress.
