          Hi Kara,

          Good luck with your foot surgery. I'm glad it's finally going to get fixed so you can get on to the road to recovery.

          Are you looking forward to Thanksgiving? Any plans?

          Take care,

            Good luck with the surgery, Kara.

            Do you have to do rehab during your recovery?

            I'm sorry you have had all this surgery but it is so good they can fix these things.

            Best regards,

                        Kara sending you healing messages for your foot surgery. This will be a "piece of cake" for you since you did so well with your back surgery. Remember that you are a very strong woman. Take some deep breaths and think about that and all of the people here that believe in you and support you!

                              hey everyone I'm 2 days post-op from my foot surgery. I have a report I want to share from yesterday. My mom and I got to the hospital at 8:05. I checked in at the outpatient surgery center. I then went to the to the outpatient lab to get my lab work done. Then we went back to the out patient surgery center my nurse called me back. me and my mom follower her to my room. I put on my gown. I put my clothes in to my hospital bag. had my vitals taken a few times before my surgery. I meet with the sleepy doctor, my OR nurses and my surgeon. After that they tried to get my IV line started. finally they got it in the side of my wrist. they put on a leg compress on my good leg, washed my foot. then my doctor put his initials on my right foot it kind of tickled. after that my sleepy Dr and my OR Nurse came to take me to the OR. my surgery last for 1 1/2 hours. they covered my foot in a ace bandage with some gauze. I was in the PACU until my surgeon let me go home. I'm doing good not really hurting it just feels strange. I'm in a wheel chair for 3 months. I'm using a good family friend wheel chair until I get mine on Friday.
