Thanks for your kind wishes. Ok, I had my surgery at 8AM and my right foot is still numb. I had a cocktail of drugs that would have made Michael Jackson envious, followed by a local block at my ankle. So far so good, I am numb. I have my oxycodone by my side, my herbal tea on the other side. As soon as I feel pain, I am prepared to take my meds. It was kind of odd, walking into the OR. The table reminded me of what they use to execute prisoners. I don't think I was on it more than 3 minutes before they pushed the propofol, next thing I knew, I was waking up in recovery. I was a bit groggy, but, otherwise feeling dandy. Will report more as I go. My greatest concern at this point is trying to figure out what I can do to maintain my strength and endurance. Mitch and I just came back from our honeymoon where we climbed and canyoneered for 4 days out of 5. I hate the thought of inactivity! If you have any ideas...please shoot them my way. Ok, Update at the end of day 1: My foot is smarting! The pain killers help, but my bones are burning.
