Surgery Update


Hey Everyone,
Thanks for all the emails and notes about the surgery. I am doing well now the day after.
Surgery for my big toe was successful. The doctor encountered one small unexpected finding. There was a considerable section of cartilage on the head of the metatarsal that was significantly worn down and pretty much gone. He had to drill a bunch of small holes (microfractures) so that the bone will bleed and the cartilage will heal itself. I will be on crutches for about a week and then a walking boot for a couple weeks after that. Then I will be working to get back in shape. Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers. Catch you guys soon.
