A great guy in an ageny that catches a lot of heat, simply because of media bias towards the current
president.

So how is your foot doing John?

Yesterday the doc said it looked great. 'All the hardware is intact and not loosening' according to
the X-rays. And, he said I could walk in regular shoes and drive. So, all sounded well...

But then I got home, put on some shoes, and tried walking. Holy ****, it hurts! Not using the
muscles or joints for two and a half months definitely causes some pain when starting again. I'm
hoping it'll go away, but it'll take a few weeks and lots of PT. Here I was thinking, yesterday,
that I'd mow the lawn today. Right! I have a hard time getting to the bathroom.

But, I'm happy with the outcome so far. At least I can drive, and my handicapped placard is good for
another month.

A few years ago I broke the fifth metatarsal bone in my foot (Jone's break). I could put no weight on it for ~5 weeks as it healed. Walking on it was fairly painful for a few days as it adjusted to having weight put on it again, and that was without the surgery that you had. Hang in there, it'll get better!

I did the same thing to left foot as a teenager. Healed pretty quickly, but I was casted. Luckily it
wasn't during basketball season!
