Bunionectomy

Kind of a weird title for a post, huh? Well, on Monday morning I will be having surgery to correct a bunion that worsened during pregnancy. I wear arch supports, which totally ease the pain, but surgery for me is inevitable, so with Mackenzie being immobile and me not teaching at this time, we are going for it. I have been at peace about it until having the pre-op appointment today, which made it all sound a little scary. Basically, my doctor will break the metatarsal that has turned outward, reposition the bone, and put in a screw to hold it in place. If you could please pray for the surgery to go well with no complications with the procedure or anesthesia and for a not-too-tricky recovery, I would appreciate that so very much. I think the scary thing is going in alone. Ryan was by my side for the two C-sections, but who goes in with you for foot surgery? I know the Lord will be with me, and that gives me great peace. The first two weeks are the most intense for needing recovery time, and thankfully, Susie is graciously coming to help us!!! I will wear a special boot for every step I take for six weeks and cannot exercise during that period, with limited mobility for six more weeks after the boot comes off.
Hmmm, now you know all about bunionectomies! I am sure a recent picture of the girls would be more interesting than hearing all of this- thanks for reading! :)
