Post Surgery
Just a quick note to let everyone know I am out of surgery and back at the trailer. Everything went fine, although he couldn’t do everything he planned to do.
The original idea was to move the joint between my toe and my foot back a bit and rebuild it, so I would be able to flex my foot when walking, which I couldn't do because of arthritis and bone spurs.
There was too much cartilage damage to be able do that, so he just reshaped the bone, and removed the spurs, and he feels that I should have full range of motion and it should keep me for the next 5-10 years, at which time I will have to completely replace the joint.
The good part is that the recovery from this should be quicker…
Thanks for the good thoughts!

Michigan
Well, I am sure it wouldn't surprise anyone at Valassis to hear that I have a sore throat. I went to visit my former co-workers and friends, and talked non-stop for about 3 hours. It was so great to make the rounds and see everyone, although there we a few people I missed. I am hoping to see people again before we leave.
We are at Haas Lake Park again- we arrived here after spending a couple of days in Muncie with Jess and her new fiance. I've discovered that I don't take any pictures when I am visiting people. The only pictures I took in Muncie were of Jess trying on wedding gowns, and I can't post any of them! Tomorrow we are checking out a couple of potential wedding venues for Jess since its the last day I'll be able to do anything for a while. I had a doctor's appointment this morning, going over the details of my foot surgery that is scheduled for Wednesday. I was pretty much assuming I would get crutches and be able to hop around as much as I want, as long as I put no pressure on my foot, but he tells me I need to pretty much stay home for two weeks and keep walking to a minimum. Ugh.
Anyway, since I will be recuperating, and not exploring, there won't be too many blog posts in the next few weeks.
