I had this removed from my foot this morning:

There was a question as to whether the surgery would go forward this morning, as I have a slight cold. I received a general anesthetic (i.e., knocked the eff out), and I think that an oxygen tube was used (hot doctor said might be necessary due to cold. anything you say!), because my mouth is ripped up. The surgery was successful. Yet again, I have no pain (albeit, surgeon used a nerve block, again) with prescriptions for enough Oxycontin and Oxycodone to numb the population of a small country. I'll be back on the road in no time. Look out Boston. Peace out.

How about a picture of your foot? Glad to hear all went well.

I meant to ask my doctor for photos of my foot during surgery. I'll get copies at my follow-up, post-op appointment on December 16th and post them to this blog. Until then, though, my foot must remain dressed, as my surgeon worries about infection, etc. No showers for two weeks.
