I survived foot surgery!

Well I finally did it!  I had my foot surgery last Friday.  While I knew that I would be off of my feet and not able to move as freely as normal, I really didn't dwell on the "after" portion of surgery!  I just wanted the pain to go away.  I knew from my initial consult with the doctor that I wouldn't be able to put any weight on it for 4 weeks and couldn't drive for at least two, since it is my right foot.  However, I didn't know that I would be in a partial cast at first and wouldn't be able to take any form of shower.  Thank goodness I go to see my doctor today - I expect to feel and look much better once I can wash my hair!

I have adopted Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive!" as my theme song.  I am learning how to navigate around my house on a walker, which has produced many sore muscles.  As a kid, I never understood why my Granddad had to stop for a while when he was going down the hallway - well, I do now!

To be able to have this surgery, I had to clear my teaching schedule for over a month.  My next classes are scheduled for March 19th & 20th.  I hope that between now and then, I will be able to work on new stuff.  I'll keep you posted!
