Well, surgery is over and went well. I went in at 7:30 and left there around 12-12:30? At least that is what time I think it was. LOL When we go there we sat in the waiting room for a bit and then they called me back and got me dressed in my kewl get up and then the nurse tried to get the IV in my hand and couldn’t so finally just stuck it in my arm. LOL So I got a kewl bruise on my hand where she couldn’t get it in to go with the kewl bruise on my left leg! LOL Then they called Shane in to sit with us til we went back. Wasn’t long. I guess right before we left they put something in our IV cause I remember the guy telling me that I may or may not remember moving to the next bed. That is all I remember…them saying ok we are moving to the next bed now….bam….that is it.
the procedure the doc said is they had to cut the plantar tendon/muscle in order for it to heal. They left the heal spur and said that that was caused from the plantar muscle pulling off the heal as it does with plantar fasciitis and it shouldn’t give me any problems. If they were to take that off my recovery would have been a lot longer because the cut would have been different and they would had to use a saw to smooth off the bone. I said ah no thanks. LOL The way he explained it he was gonna do a small cut on the side of my heal and insert a microscope and go to the place where they needed to cut the tendon/muscle and cut it from there and pull out the scope, sew it up and all done. I haven’t seen it yet cause I am bandaged like fort knox! LOL looks like my foot weighs 50lbs in just bandage! hehe My toes are all yellow I guess from the iodine? Is that what they use to swab on ya? What ever it is looks likes my toes have been dipped in food coloring! 
The pain is great I tell ya. They sent me home with Vicondin but it makes me itch (too close to the Lortab family for me) and so I have a script for darcet, davicet?? How ever you say it or spell it. Not sure if that is it but what ever it is we will get that filled and try that.
I have to stay off my feet for a week. That is really hard. There are so may things around here to do everyday and Shane works hard. He said this is his time to baby us…..we have never been babied….dont know what to do with all that. We are the caretakers. Lord help us to be humble and accept this gift of being taken cared of and not doing any thing. Help us to not feel guilty and stay off of our feet and do what it is that is asked of us.
Take care of Shane Lord, He was up for 32 hours by the time yesterday was over. Help him to get the rest that he needs too. Hus body is hurting so bad right now Lord, heal him and comfort him as we know that only you can.
Thank you Lord for loving us inspite of ourselves.
We love you Lord.
