The Big Day

Surgery was on Monday at about 2pm. I was in recovery until around 6pm. Surgery went well. There are 7 to 9 screws now in place and I actually broke 3 bones during my expedition. Here are a few pictures taken today by Janelle.

My BIG foot/leg

Me in my "element" according to Janelle (actually checking BOL) ...ps don't look too close, I look rough.

One of my x-ray pictures to show all of the screws/plate

Enjoy!!! We are heading back to Faribault tomorrow.

OUCH!

I guess if you are going to fall and hurt yourself, you might as well do it right the first time. I fell last Monday at the apartment parking lot, trying to keep Keaton from falling. My foot was pointing at about a 90 degree angle to the left of my leg. It wasn't pretty. After some versed they were able to put my dislocated foot back where it belongs and I have been sitting in Janelle's apartment all week (taking over her recliner) awaiting surgery. Surgery is scheduled for this Monday at 1pm. They are going to put pins/screws in to put the bones back together again...kind of like Humpty Dumpty.



Here is a picture of me with the flowers from the kids along with a beautiful picture of my foot.


A huge thanks to Connie, Janelle, Denise and Peggy for all of their help this week with everything, including keeping Keaton occupied.

If none of this makes sense...I am going to blame it on the pain drugs. :)
