Many, Many Thanks Everyone for all the prayers and smoke!!!! They worked very, very well as usual!!!!
Just got home from having the toe surgery this morning. Happy to say that everything went well except for it taking quite a bit longer than what we were told.
We got to the hospital at 8:30 this morning, got situated in room at 9:00 a.m. and got 1st shot of demerol at 9:30 a.m. It was a little early so I had another one about 11:00 a.m. just before they wheeled me into the operating room.
I was a little nervous as all the people in there were having Way Too Much FUN, Much Better than having them all serious after loseing the last patient so I wasn't concerned long!!!!
Anyway got installed on the operating table without me loseing my dignity and/or shocking the ha'il out of the female nurses.
The anethesologist told me to take a couple of deep breaths after a mask was put over my face and the next thing I knew I was waking up at 10 minutes 'til 1:00 p.m.!!!!
Got another shot of morphine at 10 after 1:00p.m. and had to wait for another 20 minutes before they would let me go back to my room so I left outta the recovery room at 1:37p.m.
The foot is starting to throb a little as it's been hanging down since before we left the hospital, but I'm gonna eat before I settle back and put the foot up!!!!
I'm looking forward to having pain free walking in the left foot after about a month.
The doc said I could maybe get my shoe on in about 14 days if everything goes alright and I'm positive it will!!!!
