Whew, that was exhausting...

I had surgery today on my foot. I told you back on August 2 that it was going to happen, but with one thing and another it got delayed a little while. The charming folks at Children's Hospital knocked me out and slit my Achilles tendon (they promise that it will grow back). This let the bone drop down into the heel pocket where it's supposed to be and should give me a lot more mobility in the foot. Doctor Benson said it went well, and I was really good - and hardly fussed at all, despite having to fast for 8 hours before the procedure...

So now I wear this cast for 3 weeks, then we take it off and see what we have. There could be another cast or two, or we might move to removable casts. Stay tuned...

The pictures from yellowstone and grand teton are now in Album 5 on imagestation... Check out the Bear.

Mom was up in the mountains this weekend helping our friends at the Pallisades wine festival. As a result, Dad had some real bonding time. Was good fun. On Sunday we were part of the local "Walk for PKD" which raises awareness and money to find a cure for polycystic kidneys. I don't campaign on this blog very often, but if you're interested in learning more go to: http://www.pkdcure.org

That's really it for big news around here. At today's weighing I clicked in around 15lbs, 2oz with clothes on - so still gaining about an ounce every day.

Until next time. D.
