Outpatient surgery

Well, I finally did it!! I am minus my left big toenail!! It has been bothering me for going on two years. It had "the fungus" which helped it to be ingrown....just a mess!!! Anyway, yesterday at work, Michael Koenig-the P.A. at where I work (Northeastern Orthopedics-Dr. Larabee) said he would take it off for me around 11:00 a.m. so I would have the weekend to recover. To my surprise, Dr. Larabee was off yesterday but he came at 11:00 just to take my toenail off for me!! I certainly didn't expect that!! They wanted me to do it at the hospital, but I told them that I would have to pay my deductible and all that!! The three injections into my toe were not bad at all and I didn't even feel Dr. Larabee take the nail off.....BUT BOY WHEN IT WOKE UP, THAT IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY!!!!!! Anyway, I am sitting around this weekend with my toe propped up and every 5 or 6 hours popping those pain pills!!! Hope you all have a great weekend!! Congrats to all who are losing that weight!!! Shannon, sounds like you had a great day yesterday....EVERYDAY is wonderful for me!!!! Oh, by the way, today is John's mother's birthday party- she is 90 years young!! LOVE to all!!
