Aftermath

Yesterday wasn't a whole lot of fun.

We got up at zero dark thirty to go check into the Hospital so Mrs A. could have her foot operated on. Just a bunion removal (as if any operation can be classified as 'just").

We checked it at 5:30 sat around for a couple of hours and were informed the doctor was sick. Sat around for a couple more hours while they decided what to do. Come back at 11:00.

So we went home and then came back. They finally got around to operating at 1:00, and the whole process took a couple of hours, and another hour for recovery. By the time we got out of the Hospital, 12 hours had passed. Mrs. A. was OK until around 10:00 when the drugs from the hospital wore off.

She had a prescription for Vicodin, but it just kinda takes the edge off the pain. Since she was uncomfortable, she was up and down all night. Every once in a while it was "Honey, are you awake?. HONEY ARE YOU AWAKE?"

She was there for me when I had my shoulder operated on, and I'll be there for her. That's one of the reasons for having a spouse.

And I promise I won't complain.

Really.

I mean it!

Who is that out there snickering?

Been there, done that, got the bags under my eyes to prove it. Wifey had a Morton's neuroma (inflamed nerve on the bottom of the foot) removed six weeks ago. She's just now back on her feet. This, too, shall pass.
