Recovering...

The surgery went well this morning. I don't remember much about it, especially in the half hour leading up to it, the surgery itself and the initial recovery. The procedure took around 45 minutes. I guess the nerve didn't look terrible, but definitely had scar tissue on it, so he took that out. He also found a bone spur that he took care of. He said that could have been causing the pain more than anything.

I took a great nap this afternoon and have been fairly pain free until recently. The area is numb, thus the lack of pain. It's starting to wear off though and I'm definitely feeling it. The area is all wrapped, but I took off some of the dressings at least to see part of the foot. It's all bruised. Here's a pic that doesn't even really show how bruised it really is:

Thanks for all the support: visits, help with kids, meals, emails, etc. I really, really appreciate it!
