Hanging in there ....

My appointment with my STL ortho doctor is next Wednesday (3/2) .... it cannot happen soon enough! There was one day last week that I thought it was getting better, but today was just the opposite. I never heard back from the office, as to whether or not this was an office procedure or a scheduled surgery. There are advantages to both, but if it is a true surgery then I need to get it scheduled. I'm calling tomorrow to ask. I am not looking forward to bandaging and drainage for 4-6 weeks, but I have to get this toenail stuff stopped. How can there be that much drainage from a toe for 4-6 weeks!?

I exercised at the gym over the weekend and actually tried jogging on the treadmill for 5 minutes. It was not long, but I just wanted to see if I could do it. I could!

It is going to rain tomorrow, because my hip has been hurting all day .... it happens normally 24 hours before we get a big storm.

Thanks for checking in & I'll keep you posted ....

Praying your toe appointment goes well. And, you're right! It DID rain the day after your hip told you so! Perhaps you should be on retainer for the weather stations around St. Louis -- whether radio or TV, they don't seem to get it right! I think they should be consulting with your hip. L Jo
