Mom went to her foot doctor yesterday. On her right foot the toes for years have been curling. Not under, just inward. She's known for years that she would eventually need to have this repaired. Anyway, her doctor said it's time and they have scheduled her surgery for 7/10/2020.
Apparently the surgery is not that big a deal, but, the recovery is.
1) She will be in some sort of boot that will contain her foot and help her to walk without damaging the toes post surgery.
2) She will be confined to a recliner for 4 weeks and only allowed up on her feet for 5 minutes an hour.
3) She will need to go to the doc every week for dressing changes.
4) No driving for at least 4 weeks.
The timing stinks with the new puppy and all, but, what can ya do. Not sure how she's gonna do a recliner, we have two, but, they are in the living room. We haven't used the living room in years ... LOL ... no tv there ... I'm guessing I could pull a recliner into the kitchen area through the opening. I don't know. Maybe take the leaf out of the table and make a little more room. Guess I'll figure it out.
Anyway ... I'd appreciate your prayers for mom to have a quick recovery and for my sanity ... LOL ... it's borderline now ... this may be when the men in white coats finally come for me ... and ya know ... I'm gonna go peacefully ...
