whew!

So, my guy finally had surgery on his first messed up foot.

See how there is hardly any space between those joints?

That's because there isn't any cartilage left! Ewww. So, besides the bone spurs on the tops of his toes, the bones are just rubbing together all the time. Ya know, it's funny to me with all this technology and medical advancements, that they haven't found anything to replace cartilage? Anyway...

Here is the after picture!

The first few days were pretty rough - not on my guy. He got some crazy nerve block that didn't wear off for 3 days. No, the first few days were rough on ME! Geez! And crutches were just NOT going to work for him. Thank heavens for these!!

It's called a knee scooter. Uh huh. It's awesome! This made him oh so happy :-) Which was nice for me too.

Today was even better...he got his stitches out. Ahhhhh. Now his foot can be free again! Yes, it was a problem. I didn't know people got foot claustrophobia! Lordy.
