after traveling to texas, minnesota, back to texas, home to georgia, florida and back to georgia i am finally home for good. at least i think i am.
my husband, however is in texas and will be until saturday. his dad took a bad turn and he flew over there last thursday night. i got to see him last friday for a few hours before i flew back over here on saturday. my mom flies back to texas saturday morning and he will fly home saturday afternoon. so, i will be at the jacksonville airport most of the day on saturday, but that's ok.
can't say i had a great vacation because i wound up getting an infection in my foot and going to see a doctor in texas and having to take an antibiotic. plus i was allergic to everything that i used on my staples, like they betadine to clean them and the neosporin and the bandages. so there for awhile i was a real mess.
i finally get the staples out on friday if all goes well, they have been in well over a month and i will be thrilled to finally be rid of them.
i did get plenty of reading done while i was gone because i could not do much of anything else.
but, it's great to be back home again. i have missed you all and will be back to regular posting hopefully next week when things get back to normal.
hugs to all,

i will see my doctor this morning, suzan. as far as walking goes, i can walk fine, but the surgery did not correct the problem. and i have had more problems since, so i am pretty upset about it all.

well, he was not happy that i didn't call him when i started having problems but he said that it looks ok. he want's to see me in four weeks to make sure that it keeps healing. he took the staples out, finally which is a relief.

Gosh, Ellen, I've read through all of your thread and you've really been through H with your foot!!! I knew some of this and so sorry you're having to go through so much discomfort and such. I hope months from now when it's healed, it is better than before the surgery. It takes a good year or more in my experience before you know how well it helped or not.
