Update on my feet!

Well, I'm in and out of being coherent, so I thought I'd get this up. I had foot surgery on Thursday and am home recovering. I will be home until Jan 4th. The surgery overall went well, but instead of correcting my arch by placing permanent pins in my feet as they did with my last surgery, the dr's had to use temporary ones, b/c the pins wouldn't hold. So, seriously it looks like 2 big corsage pins on the xrays and the tops are sticking out of my skin covered by little balls about the size of M&M's. They will stay in for 6 weeks. I thought about posting a picture, but decided it would scare the kids, so you'll have to take my word for it. :-)

But I am doing ok, am taking Vicodin to keep pain manageable. Have had first post-op appt and so far so good. If Idon't post again before Christmas, hope everyone has a great holiday! Love, Kristi, Andy & Mr. Oscar

Oh, happy recovery to you! I would love to see the photos! Perhaps by e-mail?

Have a very Merry Christmas, and try not to enjoy those Vicodin too much!

Glad to have an update. Love you!
