I finally had the surgery on my foot last Thursday. It was a lot more painful than I expected. I had planned on going back to work this week but the Dr. advised against it. I figured he was being overly cautious, but now I realize why he wanted me to stay home. I am hobbling around using a cane, but I sure am glad I got this over with. It will be around four weeks before I am fully recovered. Hope I am well even where I can get out and do some fishing in a couple of weeks.
